The second book of the Distributed Design Market Platform project is online

DESIGN REMIX SHARE REPEAT

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”. Including the alphabet of Distributed Design and the industrial revolution 4.0, explaining the concepts often heard but not always easy to understand.

The Distributed Design project is funded and supported by the Creative Europe program of the European Commission. Each of these four books (published annually) will explore the advances of the platform. In the first book, ‘Fab City: The Mass Distribution of (Almost) Everything’ (2018), it’s been introduced the overarching themes supporting the idea of Distributed Design as a new practice emerging from the digital revolution in fabrication, communications, and computation. This book serves as an entry point into the state of the art.

In the second book, there are two of our project: Fabcare and Next Steps.
