Introduction to Distributed Design:
Nurturing collaborative practices by (re)mixing materials and maker techniques
Is it possible to propose a learning space to encourage collaboration through food waste crafting and biomaterials design? Blending artisanal techniques with digital fabrication allows for the exploration of innovative recipes for current design and environmental challenges. When combined with the engagement of local communities, synergies and opportunities can be better identified, and outcomes can maximize value creation. In this module, we will explore iterative prototyping strategies for biomaterials innovation fueled by intrinsic people creativity and interactions with peers, the local community, and future users.
