Architects have slammed a 'threatening' new crowd-sourcing website in the US which promises to reduce clients' costs. Launched by Harvard University graduates in 2010, the arcbazar website allows clients to run their own design competitions and 'crowd source' freely submitted design solutions.

Nick Willson of Nick Willson Architects said the company placed 'no weight on value', adding: 'It is unfair to get designers to provide free ideas.'
