Architecture for Humanity is teaming with Google SketchUp to host “Sportables,” a one-week design sprint. Nothing connects kids like the power of play. Yet, too often kids cannot afford necessary equipment and do not have access to competitive facilities. How can they build a unit that turns would-be play spaces around the world into instant stadiums–equipment and all? Help them design a demountable play space and equipment library. Designs will be showcased on the Open Architecture Network and on Google SketchUp’s 3D Warehouse. The winning team will receive $1,000 design stipend to further develop their concept.

Deadline for this competition is 30 June 2008.
