Going from Zero to 00: Indy Johar on Shifting the Focus of Practice from Objects to Outcomes

摘要

This led to the realisation that 'not only could you change the way that you think about architecture, but also about how you build it' with a focus on the democratisation of manufacture and the launch of 00's most famous initiative WikiHouse. Started in the summer of 2011 by Alastair Parvin and Nick lerodiaconou, WikiHouse is an open-source, digital construction system that enables anyone to download and 'print' the parts for low-cost houses, using computer numerically controlled (CNC) cutting machines. In 2012, the founding of WikiHouse was followed by the establishment of Opendesk by lerodiaconou, Ian Bennink,Tim Carrigan, James Arthur and Joni Steiner of 00 Development. Opendesk is a global platform for local making that releases designs under Creative Commons licences and connects customers with local manufacturers. Most recently, in January 2016, Indy co-founded strategic research unit Dark Matter Laboratories, a vehicle for exploring the potential of decentralisation and distribution of institutional infrastructures to effect social change. It is through this vehicle that he has identified the next disruption on the horizon, the 'boring revolution', in which regulation, institutions and governance become the target for technological development and innovation.
