In this edition, REHOGAR wants to pay special attention to Communities: people, professionals, collectives or networks that activate transformation processes other environment, and make possible its reproduction and adaptability to different contexts. Transformations made possible through Reuse techniques and open design methods, a design that grows and evolves because it can be improved for and by other people.

This year, the Libre Objet* Workshop will focus on the question of copying in the context of product/object design field. Since it's a touchy topic for creators and the overall design industry, we will challenge this by making actual copies, explore the possibilities, rights and use limitations of iconic designs, archetypes and open-source objects. Through this practical experiment, we will discuss hacking, relaying and sharing and how copy can be a creative way to design. During the day, each participant could make his/her own copy with the available materials and tools.
