Die Welthauptstadt des Design 2012 Helsinki stellt sich auf dem DMY Festival in Berlin vom 1.-5. Juni 2011 vor. Dazu gehört mehr, als nur eine finnische Fahne aufzustellen und auf die finnische Designtradition mit Alvar Aalto und bekannten Firmen wie Marimekko zu vertrauen.

Das kleine Finnland traut sich was: Im Jahr 2012 sollen im Rahmen von WORLD DESIGN CAPITAL HELSINKI 2012: OPEN HELSINKI (FI) experimentelle Arbeitsformen und zukunftsweisende Mitmach-Formate das Bild bestimmen. Auch Politik und Verwaltung der Stadt sollen aufgebohrt und mittels Design Thinking erfrischt werden. Als Einstimmung auf das Mindset der Helsinki-Organisatoren finden auf dem DMY zahlreiche Workshops statt, in denen man offene Formate und Community Workshops kennenlernen kann.

Einer der verschiedenen Workshops den Helsinki auf dem DMY in Berlin als Warm up für das große Eventjahr veranstaltet ist “Open Helsinki: we love open data”.
Im Workshop kann man die Open- und Participatory-Design-Szene Helsinkis hautnah kennenlernen: YKON world simulation game, Low2No Camp of urban social innovations, data hacking mit Open P2P Design.

Und das sind die Workshops:

Open Helsinki: Form follows data? – Physical parametric information visualisation / Miska Knapek (FI)

Open Helsinki: Open P2P Design & Markets and business models for Open and DIY projects

Massimo Menichinelli is a designer working and researching on open collaborative projects.

He publishes articles and books within the openp2pdesign.org project, and he is currently a doctoral candidate in the Media Lab of the Aalto University (Helsinki).

Open P2P Design

Open P2P Design brings open source and peer-to-peer dynamics inside a community-centered design process, in order to have real co-design projects with people and their communities. We can use Open P2P Design for co-designing Open Design processes or commercial or public services with open and peer-to-peer dynamics, starting from communities and involving them inside the design process. We can also use it for analyzing an existing business and opening to collaboration some of its activities, or design new ones in order to start a collaboration with a community of users.

Time: Saturday & Sunday 12:00 – 12:45

No registration needed

Markets and business models for Open and DIY projects

Which are the possible business models for Open projects like Open Design and Open Hardware? And what about running a Fab Lab or a similar place? Which strategies can we adopt in order to have successful DIY Craft projects? People that want to organize collaborative spaces or companies need to think about how to run their business in a sustainable way, but even single or groups of Open Designers could get more insights for their project if they discover the possible business models. Let’s have a look at the existing markets, the common business models and the possible future scenarios.

Time: Saturday & Sunday 14:00 – 14:45
