Circular cities, donut economics, regenerative design. These are concepts that we will think, talk and do more with in the past few years. New economic, industrial, and design principles to move toward an ecological and socially sustainable future.

In this workshop, we will challenge participants to a regenerative way of thinking. Is it possible to make regeneration more ‘mainstream’? Can regenerative design help to reach our sustainable ambitions? What are the next steps we must take to move toward a truly sustainable economy? What can we do as a city, designer, or consumer?

Do you want to challenge your project with a circular and responsible approach?

💡 The Bootcamp / Sprint In partnership with the Maison&Objet trade show, after a first collaboration in 2021-2022, the Fab City Store is launching applications for its 2023 Bootcamp “Design, Events, and Circular Economy”!

This bootcamp offers the opportunity for designers in the first 5 years of their professional practice to reflect on systems, furniture or object projects that question materials found in many trade shows: plywood and composite wood panels, cardboard, tarpaulins…

Using materials from the previous edition of Maison&Objet, everyone will have the opportunity to prototype, rethink and document a circular approach applied to a furniture or object design project: an opportunity to challenge solutions with reusable materials that are still found in many events!

The last decade has marked a significant increase in the global conscience of the need for radical changes in our “way of life.” The issue of rethinking our energy systems –traditionally centralised and fossil-fuel-based to support mass consumption– has been prominent and contentious.

Due to its complexity, proposed solutions often address the symptoms of the current socioeconomic configuration rather than tackling its core assumptions. Thus, the need to transition to an energy system that not only produces energy in an environmentally sustainable way, but also socially becomes apparent.

In this workshop Happylab invites makers and designers to deal with the process of creating patterns in a vector program, which can then be used for implementation on the laser cutter or cutting plotter. Based on an existing template, workshop host Anita Bauer shows ways and possibilities how we can get a working vector in the software and then implement the pattern on the machines.

Course content:
– Participate in the entire workflow from creating a pattern design to implementing it on a machine
– Get software skills in a vector program
– Develop a routine when implementing your own ideas

Workshop host: Anita Bauer
Studied at the University of Applied Arts. Anita already got to know the Happylab during her studies through numerous projects on the laser cutter. Her experiences were deepened with many trainer workshops for the Happylab, as well as her work as a course leader for the Happylab Bootcamp. Together with MaMaMu, Anita held the workshop “Design your own shirt on the laser cutter” in the Happylab for the Vienna Design Week 2018. Above all, Anita is interested in how she can use machines from digital production sensibly as a substitute for manual activities and what aesthetic potential she can draw from using the machines.

The COVID 19 pandemic opened doors to collaboration like never before. The shortage of medical supplies, the lack of materials and key components, the difficulties of moving products simultaneously, required everyone to think about how their own production practices were capable of responding to local requirements in an emergency context, and from there act.

Because of Covid-19 crisis more than 5 millions solutions have been produced in less than 5 weeks by makers and designers all around the World, to help hospitals and other structures, to tackle the spread of the virus. Far more than any single industry could have achieved in such a short amount of time.

This astonishing number shows how collaboration, digital technologies and a distributed system of local production can really make a difference, not just in helping the healthcare system during this emergency, but in the everyday activities too.

This is also the first time in which such a large community gets in contact with a complex yet fundamental regulatory framework, to guarantee the safety of the solutions produced.

What has been done? How to contribute? What should we know when doing health&care solutions?

We are discussing on this with:
Dr. Reeser, contributor and fundraiser for the “Intubation box”
Elisabetta Biasin & Erik Kamenjasevic, legal researchers from CiTiP – Centre for IT & IP Law – Ku Leuven
Sabrina Merlo, local response lead from OSMS (Open Source Medical Supplies)
