Digital fabrication as a driver for sustainable design innovation

I efteråret arrangerer KADK en række af debatter der sætter fokus på teknologi i arkitektur og design. Debatterne bringer forskellige meninger og standpunkter sammen, og tager aktuelle spørgsmål op til diskussion.

Debatterne modereres af markante profiler fra Designskolen og Arkitektskolen, som med hver deres vinkel på spørgsmålet har inviteret en række oplægsholdere - forskere, branchefolk, organisationer mm. -  til at præsentere deres perspektiv og debattere med publikum.

Tredje debat i rækken bliver modereret af Mette Ramsgaard Thomsen, Leder af Centre for It og Arkitektur og professor på Institut for Bygningskunst og Teknologi. Debatterne er åbne for alle og foregår på engelsk.

Digital fabrication as a driver for sustainable design innovation

Digital technologies are transforming existing paradigms of production in new distributed and democratized ways. How can quick prototyping and access to small batch production create new perspectives for industrial production?

Digitization is transforming existing paradigms of production, making it easier to collaborate and communicate in distributed and democratized ways. Cheap new technologies enable developing countries and markets to leapfrog creating broader access to knowledge and reach further to new audiences while changing industrial fabrication from something only in the remit of the few to a broader culture of prototyping and small batch production. With examples from around world, we will discuss new perspectives on digital empowerment; what are the new products and service that these processes enable, how do we empower innovation in new economic models for growth and how does this practice create new perspectives for social empowerment.
