I have some big news today!
The Guggenheim Museum and Google SketchUp are teaming up to hold a special design competition. They are inviting amateur and professional designers from all around the world to enter their Design It: Shelter Competition.
The competition is an extension of the Learning By Doing exhibition currently on display at the Guggenheim Museum Sackler Center for Arts Education. The exhibition features models, plans, and photographs of shelters designed by students from the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture. According to the Guggenheim's article:

The competition is an extension of the Learning By Doing exhibition currently on display at the Guggenheim Museum Sackler Center for Arts Education. The exhibition features models, plans, and photographs of shelters designed by students from the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture. According to the Guggenheim's article:
For the past seven decades, students at this school have taken on the challenge of designing, building, and living in small shelters nestled in the landscapes of the school’s Arizona and Wisconsin campuses. In working on these shelters, students consider human needs for safety and comfort, as well as the relationship between architecture and place.
The Design It: Shelter Competition opens this project to the public. Amateur and professional designers from all over the world are entering to show off their creativity. In fact, Dan Tyree -- one of my favorite home designers -- has two entries: The Sooner and The Coconut.
These are some great designs; and they're available at The Plan Collection! Check 'em out!
