@urban-thinktank is a research and development studio out of the ETH Zurich (Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule/ Swiss Federal Institute of Technology). The team behind their flagship project Empower Housing has teamed up with @sndbox to raise awareness and Steem-power funds for new housing prototype strategy and community planning in South Africa. U-TT will use all cryptocurrency raised to fund ongoing development of housing in Khayelitsha, South Africa. Their approach to architecture and community development is inspiring, make sure to give them a warm hello and support their empowering work!

In their latest post, the U-TT team discusses the strategies of micro-financing their projects and developments in South Africa. Read all about it here.

@kr-marketing is a Korean community project led by @leesongyi and @leesol in collaboration with the @keepit team. Their team reinvents blockchain news and crypto-information into beautiful and easy to understand illustrations. Afterwards, these graphics are shared throughout social media and off-line as prints. Across all languages, this is a fantastic precedent for Steem-powered collaboration among blockchain developers, experts, traders and artists!

This week, they’ve published new flashcards of their Blockchain Encyclopedia, focusing a great deal on the nature and funciton of nation-based exchanges. Read the latest terms here.

@mrblinddraw's #whisper Gallery is Steemit’s own artistic form of the game "Telephone" where artists call upon other creatives on the platform to interpret work and continue a thread of innovation. It's an amazing showcase of cross-disciplinary collaboration. Make sure to explore the range of creatives involved in this exciting project.

We want to collectively build an art community. This is a great way to connect us, support each other through up-votes, comments, and follows. Steemit can be a slow-growing platform for creatives starting out, and the future goal is to roll this into a community event where people can be perpetually submitting to the chain. (Link)

Check out the latest addition by @manouche and the full trail of the Whisper project here.

I am inspired with what @urban-thinktank is doing which utilize the platform and transfer the resource from the virtual platform to real projects like the one in South Africa. I checked out their progress report and found that some of the technology and tools used by them are so smart that I see what was thought in my architectural school is kinda obsolete.

That is what drives me to form the @archisteem initiative too which aims to inspire more young professionals like architects and engineers to work together and realize impactful projects. I sensed so much fun and excitement in this! Again, thanks to @sndbox for providing such platform to incubate these amazing projects.
