Open Design Now: Why Design Cannot Remain Exclusive surveys this emerging field for the first time. Insiders including John Thackara, Droog Design’s Renny Ramakers and Bre Pettis look at what’s driving open design and where it’s going. They examine new business models and issues of copyright, sustainability and social critique. Case studies show how projects ranging from the RepRap self-replicating 3D-printer to $50 prosthetic legs are changing the world.
Open Design Now is essential reading for anyone concerned with the future of design and society

Eddig ugyan csak egyetlen cikket olvastam el, de ha az összes ilyen jó, megvannak a hivatkozások stb., akkor nagyon igényes kiadvánnyal van dolgunk. Ajánlott.
