Making Space: the future places, tools and technologies for open Design
Salone del Mobile, one must ask if the home of salubrious
product launches is the right venue to promote its antithesis.
If Grima’s observation that the ideas of the maker
movement have filtered up through the maker faire to a
design audience, then maybe the accumulated knowledge of
the design disciplines should be reciprocated into the maker
environment, through the places and spaces of open design.
For open design to not appear as an esoteric and frivolous
blip on the design history radar, the outcomes of such projects
need to be functional, meaningful and engaging to the
wider public. In many cases this means moving beyond the
limited capabilities offered by the conventional low cost 3D
printers and laser-cutters, and accessing additive manufacturing
tools to produce increasingly sophisticated results,
enabled and driven by transdisciplinary expertise.
Maybe it is the design process that is the most convivial tool
of all, and it is open design that presents the best opportunity,
not only to upskill the layman (Parsons, 2009), but to
enrich human culture with the ability to engage in the ‘fully
satisfying, imaginative, and independent work’ proposed by
Illich (Illich, 1973. p46) and facilitate the Industrial Revolution
2.0 that Swengley, and many others, have promised.
