Saper fare come valore di comunità. Per un fablab diffuso, oltre la retorica del digitale

In the territorial and anthropic context of the popular quarters of the historical centers of the Mediterranean cities, the population density and the sharing of public space are constant, as is the presence of a widespread legacy of material culture, of which the artisan workshop is a paradigmatic expression. In most of the cases analyzed, this tissue was put into crisis by gentrification and musealization, in other cases, this type of outpost of material culture still finds its place. The idea of diffused fablab was born from these premises, from the need that the productive fabric of the densely populated districts of historic centers operate a change of pace, to become a generator of public space and new community, introducing into the production process, together the ability and expertise of craft new dynamic capabilities, aiming to create networks for sharing knowledge, through an urban scale jump to measure. In the contemporary production system, in fact, the production of knowledge benefits from forms of collaboration and sharing, and it is as if this type of territorial reality, already in itself interclassist and socially heterogeneous, was vocationally devoted to this type of approach, otherwise innovative: a sort of diffused fablab, of co-working to the extent of the district, which operates a gap from working together in the fablab to working together in the diffused-fablab.
