Thu Jul 18 13:17:02 UTC 2013

Dear all,

i write to share with you some recent initiatives that are related (or
partially related) to the topics we are all interested in:

> here the link to a survey about the FabLab people
https://pompeufabraeec.eu.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_0ILO1yjXOf4HRlz
Are the researchers in this list? Maybe it will be nice to understand the
framework of the research.

> Design Matters: the University Iuav of Venice organized the 1st Forum of
the Doctoral Schools in Design in Italy.
http://www.museologiadesign.it/dm/speakers/
About 3 new PhD researches were related to digital fabrication, fabbing,
fablabs etc. Open design is also often mentioned in some of them.
I list them below (Some titles are provided in Italian):

- Patrizia Bolzan Nuova manifattura digitale open-source Polimi
- Francesca Ostuzzi Design for Everyone: il prodotto unico replicabile e
partecipato Polimi
- Marco Zilvetti Moving in the digital era: Innovative Systems of Mobility
for Responsive Urban Spaces Polimi

I was also presenting my research anout OH-OD and interaction design and
moderating the session.

> http://www.dis2014.org/
"At the ACM conference on Designing Interactive Systems in 2014 we will
explore the idea that the design of interactive systems is entering a new
socio-technical paradigm around the idea of craft."
The conference is called Crafting Design.
