Emmanuel Gilloz editor
emmanuel.gilloz@gmail.comHi ! I'm a designer and would describe myself as an idealist t(h)inker engaged in design for change, following the Papanek's path. Passionate about design and how it could evolve. Interested by everything, I tend to mix all that together (my motto its to synthesize the whole).
Today that lead me to collaborate in the creation of several fablabs and to study the implications they could have on the design practice, and the society by extension.
After a baccalaureate in Applicated Arts I studied Industrial and Product design from 2006 to 2010, now in a Global Design master for 2011 (with a thesis about FabLab and open-design, and maybe pursuing with a phd).
I came to meta/open-design by the idea that if we really want to solve problems, we must empower everyone with all we can. It will be more efficient to be 7 billions that just a few (what Emily Pilloton did with the opening of Studio H is a good example).
I blog also about some others things and the RepRap Project, but will contribute and share especially about meta/open-design here :)Emmanuel Gilloz has written 1 posts so far. Read them here.
