The African Fabbers project is a social innovation and
non-profit initiative promoted by Urban FabLab. The project is based on the
idea of bridging the African and the European makers communities through
workshops, collaborative projects, talks etc.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The workshops were developed in order to share an
opportunity to creative clusters from different continents and backgrounds to
meet up and share knowledge, to investigate the interaction between African
material systems and computer aided design technologies.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;">Il design è uno dei settori delle industrie creative che ha più potenziale per il miglioramento delle condizioni di vita dei paesi in via di sviluppo, per questo è stato promosso da università, imprese e governi di molti paesi del mondo come uno strumento per contribuire a combattere la povertà e generare reddito attraverso lo sviluppo di nuove forme di economia creativa. Il lavoro dei due designer da anni promuove la visione del design come attivatore di creatività nelle comunità, trasferendo metodi e approcci del design, con l’obiettivo di stimolare crescita, specie nei paesi con un significativo ritardo di sviluppo. Tale approccio non è solo volto alla creazione di prodotti innovativi, ma anche al dare vita a nuove interazioni tra produttori che provengono da zone diverse e usano tecniche differenti: un progetto inteso come agente di cambiamento della realtà produttiva e come catalizzatore di relazioni tra culture differenti. La metodologia introdotta è adesso utilizzata da agenzie internazionali come UNIDO (United Nations Industrial Development Organisation), da stati come il Brasile, la Colombia e il Pakistan.</span></div>

The concept of social business is simple but convincing. Social businesses are companies that have the objective to overcome poverty or other problems that threaten people in society. The goal of the company is not profit maximization. Investors in social businesses invest their money in business activities without receiving any dividends. Instead the profit of a social business stays within the company and is solely used to reinforce the social goal of the business. Furthermore social businesses pay market wage, and act it environmentally consciously. The Grameen Bank, the mother of social business, has distributed 8,7 Billion US$ in small loans with a 98% loan recovery, taking out no profit and empowering hundred thousands of people to overcome poverty and illiteracy in the second generation.</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; line-height: 1.7; width: 500px; float: left; ">In social business, design plays a major role if we take <span style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; ">Herbert Simons</span>definition of design seriously: <span style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; "><span class="enfasi" style="margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; line-height: 30px; ">“design is revising existing situations into preferred ones”</span></span>. From this perspective each business creation is a design activity; each generation of new product or service is a design activity. Therefore, the question of design within the context of social business is manifold and interesting. As it seems <span style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; ">Prof. Yunus</span>’ main activities regarding design have been focused on the designing aspect of the business activity, which we could call business design, probably because he is an economic expert.<br />But there has to be more to it, since there is a huge awareness that environmental sustainability needs to be considered as a further important aspect of the design activity. Looking at many of the established products in the top tier of the wealth pyramid, it seems that the way products and services are designed today cannot be the future solution and cannot be sustained. We cannot generate the same carbon footprint for the world inhabitants as we do in the Western economies. We cannot use up the same amount of water resources in the upcoming economies as we still do in the western countries.<br />Therefore social business that has the goal to overcome poverty must be accompanied with conscious design activities, considering the half life of all products, considering the limited resources of the poorest, considering different lifestyles, considering the education of the consumer and considering the limited resources of this planet.</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; line-height: 1.7; width: 500px; float: left; ">During the<span style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; "> international design for social business designing conference in Milan</span>, <span class="enfasi" style="margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; line-height: 30px; ">up to 60 international experts from various fields</span>, representatives from the <span style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; ">Grameen Creative Lab, multinational companies active in social business, IED</span>, and other design schools as well as many international design experts, will be actively<span class="enfasi" style="margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; line-height: 30px; ">designing a new design philosophy</span> and design agenda to frame and reframe design for social business.

The stories of how that item was created, of the people involved, of the customers who purchased them, are the essence of the the e-commerce social network which we have built as a meeting place for a community that shares our brand values of authenticity, transparency, uniqueness and both social and environmental responsibility.Valehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16113782065940121233noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9115111625062913154.post-44032241764610778412011-01-30T03:00:00.001-08:002011-01-30T03:00:34.935-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix4MZbgrlfOoYYW0-7giIjKZsS18ADNY-HL75Rcbvw_nBVnMHYsbLwBI1wSpF5Rm5Za5xBWg_JfatS-We7_BsbJUgNw_g5C9g0jCf32XjbSObjEhAaVh8NwGyK3YB_Fu5rYp9Rjs5iDZAx/s1600/la.perla_382x326.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 382px; height: 326px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix4MZbgrlfOoYYW0-7giIjKZsS18ADNY-HL75Rcbvw_nBVnMHYsbLwBI1wSpF5Rm5Za5xBWg_JfatS-We7_BsbJUgNw_g5C9g0jCf32XjbSObjEhAaVh8NwGyK3YB_Fu5rYp9Rjs5iDZAx/s400/la.perla_382x326.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567932122517466434" /></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(136, 136, 136); font-weight: bold; line-height: 16px; font-family:'book antiqua', palatino;font-size:medium;">Sono pezzi unici creati da Krizia, Gianfranco Ferre' e altri grandi stilisti.

L’ 11 settembre l’occidente era stato colpito e aveva deciso di aprire un fronte di difesa/offesa in Afghanistan. In segno di autonomia etico/economica Emergency aveva rinunciato alla quota di finanziamenti pubblici che riceveva per le attività mediche sui fronti di guerra. In un articolo a tutta pagina su laRepubblica Gino Strada invitava la società civile ad aiutarli a reintegrare i fondi rifiutati. Noi avevamo da poco fondato una società che si occupava di comunicazione con una forte attenzione al mondo del Design, e ci siamo chiesti cosa si potesse fare per risponde all'appello. E così, di domenica, in quei silenzi carichi di soluzioni, abbiamo progettato Sos Design: il primo format di raccolta fondi espressamente attivo nel mondo Design.Valehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16113782065940121233noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9115111625062913154.post-7129839921317829482010-03-09T01:18:00.000-08:002010-03-09T01:23:28.512-08:00EcoChic Milan Exhibition<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWW1mOKUljqXWri5h36shiGCRI428YPfwYf9tXKdJyrmOcSIpIY0Zu3bnFN3IxW4RfMNtZvUhhOqvqGm4fHnxA6kK7oKtybCinWoFziiuop22ZND30qRifyHnn25Y8WWorRR7JSAx9bXHq/s1600-h/DSC_0023%5B1%5D.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446561839381790642" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWW1mOKUljqXWri5h36shiGCRI428YPfwYf9tXKdJyrmOcSIpIY0Zu3bnFN3IxW4RfMNtZvUhhOqvqGm4fHnxA6kK7oKtybCinWoFziiuop22ZND30qRifyHnn25Y8WWorRR7JSAx9bXHq/s400/DSC_0023%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjrKqHk9Xrp4L_iheJGCwV4T9ZggRXtug4Hp2IbsL_BEwpJLN5veWFLZr3IqM4Q4sHYn6oPF20DbCMZb-2zgljTz-sxrHgSfi5wg8MutD1iDO0vevHJeFlDCSyNenBpZ0GXOonutranibp/s1600-h/jacroki%5B1%5D.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446561674714849394" style="WIDTH: 328px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 120px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjrKqHk9Xrp4L_iheJGCwV4T9ZggRXtug4Hp2IbsL_BEwpJLN5veWFLZr3IqM4Q4sHYn6oPF20DbCMZb-2zgljTz-sxrHgSfi5wg8MutD1iDO0vevHJeFlDCSyNenBpZ0GXOonutranibp/s400/jacroki%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxMEKld81ZrqNLaXrP8M_P3IIEX_7EOxhWCITIAy_Bt1_NB1ky-Uxxk1dH6b8Htf-oRFg9rzn1Od3Pk0obDSub_gS33L3zcNEkj3ygowTScOeFuZPvw5BOcRJo-tuOQmkB8vfHI-bcKjaO/s1600-h/ecochic%5B1%5D.gif"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446561237013954210" style="WIDTH: 196px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 79px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxMEKld81ZrqNLaXrP8M_P3IIEX_7EOxhWCITIAy_Bt1_NB1ky-Uxxk1dH6b8Htf-oRFg9rzn1Od3Pk0obDSub_gS33L3zcNEkj3ygowTScOeFuZPvw5BOcRJo-tuOQmkB8vfHI-bcKjaO/s400/ecochic%5B1%5D.gif" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi2xksXxqwhT6VY4sfXGDTRWnf6SPqb24PRuUuJNsGZH3bBQG8wJx0cC_FjzpdIa7F9sR7ThVLKJK3Ap7RXqWpzP66pESKjrExPArT37A_DIss-OTYrIzgxJZTUeMC1FGwIp8Fjr8Jmr_l/s1600-h/okinawa%5B1%5D.gif"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446561322569799730" style="WIDTH: 348px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 140px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi2xksXxqwhT6VY4sfXGDTRWnf6SPqb24PRuUuJNsGZH3bBQG8wJx0cC_FjzpdIa7F9sR7ThVLKJK3Ap7RXqWpzP66pESKjrExPArT37A_DIss-OTYrIzgxJZTUeMC1FGwIp8Fjr8Jmr_l/s400/okinawa%5B1%5D.gif" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>The EcoChic Milan Exhibition will take place within Italy's main sustainable trade fair, called <a href="http://eventi.terre.it/default.php?idm=3&idn=45">'Fa' la cosa giusta</a>!
