Open Source Architecture and Postdigitalism
“Open-source architecture (OSArc) is an emerging paradigm that advocates new procedures in imagination and formation of virtual and real spaces within a universal infrastructure. Drawing from references as diverse as open-source culture, modular design, avant-garde architectural theory, science fiction, language theory, and neuro-surgery, it adopts an inclusive approach as per spatial design towards a collaborative use of social software for transparent operation throughout the course of an integrated public life” - From the official wikipedia page :
In my understanding, Opensrouce architecture is by definition postdigital, because it’s creation is based on the digital>physical transposition of the opensource concept, originally linked to programming. The cultural or digital transposition of digital phenomenons into physical realities is one component of postdigitalism. http://senseable.mit.edu/osarc/2011_Ratti_et_al_OSArc_DOMUS.pdf
