Archeyes: Competition: Project 10 to the 100

Do you have an idea that could change the world for the better and truly make a difference? Google thinks with all the information out there that the ideas have been generating for a long time. Google set up a platform for these ideas to flourish; whether the idea is for a new invention, new architectural design, modified water purification system, etc. they wanted to hear ideas from anyone.

They created a whole project dedicated to that idea called 10 to the 100th. For their 10th anniversary they have committed to invest $10 million dollars in a winning idea(s). The deadline to submit ideas has passed...and so has the voting... I have been trying to find the winners but no luck so far.

The idea is kinda like the movie pay it forward... where a collective idea and wisdom can be passed between people at a very rapid speed thus making the word a better place by pushing for change together (strength in numbers).

Studio: Child's Play: Caracas Venezuela Senior Design



The aim of my project is to create a tangled web of playground parks for children to play, interact, and learn from each other within these spaces.


The installations will become a social monument that will allow different people at all ages and communities within the barrio to experience the building in their own way while promoting imagination and interaction with the architecture.


The buildings will be open and accessible as possible. This allows people to walk by the installations while in the parks and see into the building where art classes, lessons, day care, and community gatherings take place.


The integration and weaving of parks within the barrio landscape will make it safe for young children to roam about the barrio; playground to playground.










Everything will be designed for the child in mind. Benches will be provided at their scale and the installations and landscaping will promote imaginative playing.

The installations will sit in the landscape, following the “rules” of the barrio to build, so as to keep views on the hillside open.
