Gestures of Craft by Elke van den Hoogen Gestures of Craft by Elke van den Hoogen is a beautiful project about the lost art of craftsmanship. Industrialization changed our world, it gave us a lot of new opportunities for production and automation. But a side effect of the industrial revolution is that less people are expert craftsmen. A lot of old crafts are forgotten and with this project Elke wanted to bring these crafts back to life! Every craft has its own ways of working, different skill sets are needed and smart solutions that got developed by experience, make the craftsman! Elke created 4 different objects inspired by craftsmanship. Nowadays we’re not used to making an effort to turn on a light, you walk over to the switch and turn it on. The ladder lamp will make make you aware of the effort that had to be done in the past to turn on the lights. The other 3 objects are about the craft of braiding (chair), watchmaking (ring) and typesetting (wall decoration). The last one, typesetting, is almost poetic.

Lesson Plan: Grade range: 3-5 Prep: 2/5 Setup: 2/5 Cleanup: 1/5 Prep: Cut many 1/2 sticks Setup: Set up glue guns This project will require two 1-hour classes. Start-of-class lecture (day 1) Demonstrate your mechanical hand and the design challenge Explain how it is operated and how it grasps Show step-by-step how to make only the hand (steps 2-3) Start-of-class lecture (day 2) Show step-by-step how to finish the mechanical hand Remind students of the design challenge and encourage them to try new ideas
Biodiseño: la era de los productos con organismos integrados El diseño industrial ya no se conforma sólo con impulsar la biomimética, o diseños que imitan la naturaleza para mejorar sus prestaciones, rendimiento, durabilidad, resistencia, sostenibilidad, etc. Llega el turno del biodiseño, o diseño biológico, en el que la propia vida se integra en los diseños cotidianos. El biodiseño surge de la biotecnología aplicada a las manufacturas futuras y los resultados preliminares en numerosos prototipos "vivientes" promete, pero suscita un debate ético inevitable: el de su uso responsable. Innovaciones a golpe de hacha de guerra Desde la época clásica a nuestros días, la propia historia de las innovaciones está relacionada con las grandes transformaciones, a menudo bélicas y administrativas. Las tecnologías más decisivas han sido usadas para dañar a otros, y existe el riesgo de que el biodiseño siga el mismo camino, dando pie a híbridos entre máquinas y organismos tan nocivos como los tentaculares "centinelas" del filme The Matrix.

Crafty Companion | cross stitch with a geek flair Hardware modular "libre": productos ensamblados como mecanos - noticias - *faircompanies Como en cualquier otro "lenguaje" humano , el hardware modular ( consultar Low-tech Magazine ) usa un conjunto de piezas estándar para ensamblar infinidad de objetos, un modo barato y efectivo de conjugar estandarización con personalización. En los sistemas modulares, los mejores creadores de productos son el equivalente a los mejores poetas de haikus ; los maestros de la economía de piezas -en este caso, piezas físicas-, en definitiva. Lograr lo máximo con lo mínimo. " Menos, pero mejor ". El hardware modular quiere aprender del software libre Pero los productos físicos modulares ( hardware modular ) tiene todavía mucho que aprender. Como el sector del automóvil, el de la informática nació con el esfuerzo de artesanos y diseñadores que se sirvieron de la modularidad para que los componentes internos -motores, en el caso del automóvil; y circuitería, en informática- fueran reemplazables y fáciles de personalizar. Innovación cerrada y guerras de estándares La inspiración de Arduino
