<AZ> Open Architecture (OA) as it seems to its very low level, is likely a "strength for the mind"- capacity for philosophy feeding and some "together for all" ways of working.

It has

• the goals of common projects and to make people work together (?): it is similar with its wantings to give real senses to an ideal human society.
• collaborative spaces but may be different from the open-sourcing basement ... open may seem just "with no limit" (?) and also there with no architects.
• near ethics and free economy
  

It comes to "vernacular architecture' too.
That's why OA has some relations with Societal Architecture (SA).
SA definition: "it is an area of contexts created for humans expressions." All is derivated from that assertion, but some special spaces are to be ajusted and created: from intimate room for individual, to urban transportations, societal architecture is to affirm the prevalent self context of human livings: architecture for us.

Caracteristics

• the use of mega structures (or "self"-constructed heavy supports)
• with updatable modules of human contexts (inhabitats-appartment - but pools, markets,places,work collaborative areas, nature, small hydropony fields in shared farm towers ...)
• open ground ways - nature integrated - public machines like vehicules and energy plants from people efforts eg. lift;
• civil laws and civil tools to make and build freely but with shared efforts in free work - peer to peer architecture
  
• ... to extend ;)

There are even more than only one SA, but the far numbers of communities of people in accordance.... to be continued
