Viral Design Book

The Distributed Design Book documents emerging practices at the intersection of digital fabrication, open knowledge, and collaborative production. Through case studies, reflections, and applied research, it illustrates how designers, makers, and fabrication spaces operate within networked ecosystems where ideas circulate globally and manufacturing happens locally. Within the Fab City framework, this publication reinforces the shift toward distributed production models that challenge centralized supply chains and enable territorial resilience. It highlights how shared design intelligence, peer learning, and local prototyping contribute to building productive cities rooted in community capacity and connected through global knowledge networks.
