FROM THE BAUHAUS TO THE FAB LAB. THE DIGITAL REVOLUTION OF LEARNING BY DOING

Digital fabrication has revolutionized the pedagogical model of the experimental workshops that have been in force since the Bauhaus, leading to the worldwide network of Fab Lab connected laboratories. The emergence of CAD/CAM, the personal computer and the internet have influenced the methodology of project-based learning implemented in architecture schools. The maker movement updates the concept of learning by doing, bringing invention closer to education and questioning the regulated teaching of traditional technical schools due to the rise of knowledge shared on the internet through digital learning platforms. Online on-demand training and offshoring personal production are the foundation of education in the times of the fourth industrial revolution that fosters synergies between previously hermetic disciplines and is moving towards a more sustainable intelligent manufacturing.
