Worldchanging.com published an article about The Global Studio's AMD Open Architecture Challenge Africa project with SIDAREC, Architecture for Humanity and AMD. The article begins,

"The Global Studio, based in Seattle, Wa., took top honors in the 2007 AMD Open Architecture Challenge. The four internationally experienced architectural designers behind the studio (which works exclusively with NGOs and charitable causes) are Stephanie Ingram, Geoff Piper, Matthew Sullivan and Ashley Waldron. Their winning entry will be built with funds supplied by AMD."

Author Julia Steinberger spoke with The Global Studio's Geoff Piper about the design. Geoff stated,

"One of the things SIDAREC really liked about the design was the tower element at the front," says Piper. "They saw that as an icon of SIDAREC itself, and of the community it serves. That tower could be identified with the radio station, which they say is listened to by 600,000 people."
