我院Fab Lab实验室参与2023 Fab Lab全球会议，并获佳奖！

Fab Lab全球会议三年后再度召开，活动于七月的最后一周在不丹王国首都廷布隆重举行。此次活动由麻省理工学院的“比特与原子中心”、Fab Foundation和不丹的“德鲁克控股与投资公司”联合组织，吸引了来自世界各地的Fab Lab和大学代表、艺术家、创客、创新者和企业家参加。

同济大学设计创意学院Fab Lab应邀参加了本次活动，实验室副主任Saverio Silli于7月22日至8月1日前往不丹参加了会议。

After a pause of three years, the International Fab Lab Symposium and Conference was held again during the last week of July in the city of Thimphu, the capital of the Kingdom of Bhutan. Organised by MIT’s Center for Bits and Atoms, Fab Foundation and Bhutan’s Druk Holding and Investment company, the conference welcomed representatives from Fab Labs and Universities, artists, makers, innovators and entrepreneurs from all over the world. 

Fablab Shanghai, the digital fabrication lab of the College of Design and Innovation of Tongji University was invited by the organisers and, from July 22 to August 1st, the vice-director of the lab, Saverio Silli, traveled to the remote country of Bhutan to participate in the conference.

Fab Lab 全球会议

Fab Lab全球会议是一个展示学术成果、分享想法、项目合作、了解数字制造及相关领域最新趋势和发展的宝贵机会。麻省理工学院比特与原子中心主任Neil Gershenfeld教授提出了今年的主题“设计弹性未来”，这对不丹这样一个位于喜马拉雅山脉海拔的内陆发展中小国来说是一个至关重要的概念。该国在数字制造实验室上投入了大量资金，依靠Fab Lab的概念和网络来创建一个框架，以寻找当地可用的创新解决方案和可获得的制造能力。

The Fab Lab Conference is a precious opportunity to showcase academic work, share ideas, collaborate on projects, and learn about the latest trends and developments in digital fabrication and related fields. Prof. Neil Gershenfeld, director of MIT’s Center for Bits and Atoms, presented this year’s theme “Designing Resilient Futures”, a crucial concept for a small developing country like Bhutan, landlocked on the altitudes of the Himalayan mountains. The country invested a great deal on digital fabrication laboratories, relying on the Fab Lab concept and network to create a framework to find locally available innovation solutions and accessible manufacturing capacity.

在会议的第一天，Saverio Silli将与Francesca Valsecchi（同济大学设计创意学院副教授）合作撰写的新研究论文进行了演示。该论文题为《在设计工作室中整合电子电路设计与制造：探讨动手学习方法以吸引本科生参与生态相关设计》，研究了为设计创意学院（D&I）三年级设计工作室设计跨学科课程的经验。该课程是Fablab Shanghai和生态与文化创新实验室的合作项目，它整合了电子电路设计与制造，以支持创造生态相关的设计构想。论文详细介绍了如何运用技术知识来支持工作室任务的设计研究，该任务旨在促进公民与自然之间新形式的联系，培养生态知识的创造。

On the first day of the conference, Saverio Silli presented the new research paper written together with Prof. Francesca Valsecchi. The paper, titled “Integrating Electronic Circuit Design and Fabrication in a Design Studio: Discussing Hands-on Learning Approach to Engage Undergraduate Students in Ecologically-Relevant Design” examines the experience of designing a cross-disciplinary curriculum for D&I’s third year’s design studio. As a collaboration between Fablab Shanghai and the Ecology and Cultures Innovation Lab, the course integrates electronic circuit design and fabrication to support the creation of ecologically relevant design propositions. The paper details how the technical knowledge was used to support the design research for the studio's brief, which aimed at contributing to new forms of connection between citizens and Nature, fostering the creation of ecological knowledge.

在会议的第三天，上述论文荣获会议学术委员会（包括乌梅奥大学和鹿特丹应用科学大学的教授在内）颁发的最佳研究论文奖。在他们的评价中，强调了这项研究在跨学科设计教育方向上的相关性，以及将技术应用于朝着超越人类的设计学科的方法。该论文已收录在会议论文集中。

On the third day, this work was awarded the best research paper presented in the conference by an academic committee including professors of Umea University and Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences. In their motivations, they highlight the relevancy of the research in the direction of cross-disciplinary design education, with the application of technology to move towards a more-than-human approach of the design discipline. The paper is available in the proceedings of the Conference at the following address:

Saverio Silli还组织了一场关于设计教育和“通过创作思考”的讲座和工作坊，他代表同济大学和设计创意学院，与来自90多个国家的代表一同参与了全球Fab Lab网络和Fab Lab亚洲网络的多次会议和交流。

Saverio Silli also organised a lecture and workshop focused on Design Education and Thinking-Through-Making and took part in numerous meetings and talks with representatives of the Global Fab Lab Network and the Fab Lab Asia Network, representing Tongji University and the College of Design and Innovation on a stage including people from more than 90 countries.

Fablab O Shanghai “数制”工坊（简称FABO）扎根于同济大学设计创意学院，是麻省理工学院领导的Fab Lab全球网络的重要成员，也是中国大陆首个建成的Fab Lab。长期以来，同济大学Fablab O实验室（FABO）致力于以设计引领跨界，在"创新教育"、"分布式制造 "和 "人工智能创新"等领域的研究与实践中持续活跃在前沿。“数制”工坊一直活跃在科创教育前沿。FABO自主研发的课程整合了设计、数字制造、人工智能等多门学科和技术，以设计思维贯穿整个学习路径，并将可持续发展目标作为学生项目式学习的终极挑战。

Fablab O Shanghai (FABO) is the Digital Fabrication Lab of the College of Design and Innovation, Tongji University. It operates as a key node of the Fab Lab global network led by MIT and it is the first built Fab Lab in China. Having long been committed to design-led crossover, FABO continues to be active at the forefront of research and practice in “innovation education”, “distributed manufacturing” and “artificial intelligence innovation”. FABO has made great efforts to develop an innovative STEDM curriculum that integrates multiple disciplines and technologies, with Design Thinking woven throughout the whole pathway and the UN Sustainable Development Goals as the ultimate challenge for students’ Project-Based Learning.
