Abstract:El artículo tiene como objetivo explorar el surgimiento de los fab lab y sus posibles impactos en el trabajo y la cultura material allí donde estos talleres son adoptados. Para ello se hace un recuento de su surgimiento y se presentan algunos ejemplos de la forma en que operan. Se argumenta que los fab lab tienen el potencial de democratizar la teoría del diseño de lo artificial de Herbert Simon (1969) a la ciudadanía. Si dichas tecnologías son utilizadas por la ciudadanía para fabricar elementos materiales qu… Show more
“…"The Lab" could be a term that symbolizes all these dispersed and unconnected pieces of a new social structure. New disciplines like techno-anthropology or techno-sociology are trying to blend social sciences and design (Borsen, Botin, 2013;Matus, Colobrans, Serra, 2023).…”

This paper discusses the development of the Col.laboratori programme in Catalonia as a model for testing the theory of universal innovation ecosystems. This programme aims to address the challenges faced by societies in the current era of transitions by combining theories of techno anthropology, social innovation, and living labs.
The authors propose collaboratories as crucial social innovations that can facilitate the absorption of changes and promote creative construction. These collaboratories are considered meta socio-digital innovation mechanisms that establish quadruple helix collaborative structures, bridging different actors, types of innovations, and diverse worldviews.
To achieve a Just Triple Transition (social, green and digital), the paper suggests bringing together actors from business, academia, government, and society in collaborative processes that generate short-term optimal results and long-term synergies. This approach involves including society as the end-user in common tasks to ensure better design and higher-value outcomes. The paper advocates for a democratization of the innovation ecosystems, aiming for a broader distribution of social benefits through negotiated approaches focused on solving common challenges in pursuit of the common good.
