The OS (OpenStructures) project explores the possibility of a modular construction model where everyone designs for everyone on the basis of one shared geometrical grid. It initiates a kind of collaborative Meccano to which everybody can contribute parts, components and structures.
Sense is a drag-and-drop programming environment that will allow you to develop rich multimedia programs within minutes. It has been designed to work with the SenseBoard, a powerful, flexible and yet amazingly simple-to-use hardware kit that can sit at the heart of a thousand different projects, giving you a few of the features of a research laboratory in something that fits in the palm of your hand. The possibilities are almost endless!
an academic, non-profit initiative engaged in supporting distributed collaboration towards design challenges facing underserved communities and the environment. ThinkCycle seeks to create a culture of open source design innovation, with ongoing collaborat
Why is transforming furniture so alluring? What if you could simply reuse packaging as part of a product rather than sending away for disposal or recycling? Flat pack furniture is exactly what it sounds like: furniture that starts out entirely as sheets
