The Maker Culture and the Open Source Model in the Architecture, Urbanism and Design Context: The Fabrication and Sharing of a Game for Design Teaching

“…In the scope of Architecture, Urbanism and Design, both internationally and nationally, several initiatives that seek to reconcile the design practices linked to digital thinking, the development of prototypes and products in fab labs are assisted. Sperling et al (2015), Costa and Pelegrini (2017) and Rosa et al (2018) contribute to a mapping of makers spaces in Latin America, especially in Brazil.…”

“…In 2017, Brazil had 58 spaces that were called makerspaces, fab labs or digital manufacturing laboratories, which were distributed in 24 cities (Costa & Pelegrini, 2017). Among those, many were linked to the Faculties of Architecture and Urbanism, Design and Engineering, since they reach the goal of bringing students closer to reality through doing and experimenting.…”

Makerspace for skills development in the industry 4.0 era

“…The maker movement is an extension of the DIY (Do It Yourself) culture based on practices of creating, building, modifying, and repairing something using traditional or digital tools and machines (Taylor, 2016). Projects may be developed on virtual platforms through peer-to-peer production or in physical spaces (Costa and Vieira Pelegrini, 2017). What Makerspaces have in common is that they are social spaces, with open workshops providing various tools and equipment enabling the individual or collaborative projects where people with different skills can collaborate and learn from each other around projects of shared interest (Taylor, 2016).…”

“…Fablabs are technical prototyping platforms for learning, invention, and innovation, presenting basic requirements, such as opening space for the community in part of the time, active participation in the Fablabs network and sharing of knowledge, archives, and documentation (Costa and Vieira Pelegrini, 2017). The idea emerged in order to develop entrepreneurship locally, sometimes adopted in schools as platforms for Project-Based Learning, or PBL (Määttä and Troxler, 2011); they are connected to a global community of students, educators, technicians, researchers, and others interested in sharing network knowledge (Mostert-Van Der Sar et al, 2013).…”

“…Makerspaces are prototyping and digital manufacturing environments that integrate machines, devices, and enable creativity, stimulating collaborative innovation and new business development (Andersson, 2014). Makerspaces, Digital Manufacturing Labs, Fablabs, and Hackerspaces are some of the various terms used to describe these communities and, although they may differ in terms of their precise balance of activities, the degree of involvement of partners and the objectives, there are similarities between all these forms (Costa and Vieira Pelegrini, 2017).…”
