Introduction to Distributed Design:

Design, Remix, Share, Repeat - Book

From: Distributed Design Platform

A book that explores how distributed design is changing the way makers and designers approach collaboration, tools and the market.

This book has been created by the members of Distributed Design Platform, a project funded by the European Union through the Creative Europe fund, that fosters the role of emerging Makers and Designers as part of this new digitized world. ”The future is already here, it’s just not very distributed” WIlliam Gibson, science fiction novelist. Consider it DD-day for mass production and game over for the ‘take, make, dispose’ model!

This is the second in a series of four books developed within the Distributed Design Platform. Distributed Design (DD) allows creatives, designers, makers and innovators to participate in the creation of a new model of production and consumption, in which “bits travel globally, while atoms stay locally”.
