Can digital design commons, based on distributed intelligence, help us structure a response to the actual crisis through a low tech - knowledge intensive collaborative perspective? The presentation proposes to reconsider notions related to distributed partial design through a digital commons point of view.
Digital design overflows the limits of isolated works and, through the implementation of open source algorithms, declares its continuous deterritorializations and reterritorializations in a series of projects.
It tends to be ubiquitous and forms a code flow circulating among all possible situated architectural proposals.
Design acquires thus a common character.
Digital Design Commons are pools of a multitude of micro- architecture problem solutions, a multitude of micro - syntaxes covering partial aspects of design, waiting to be actualized in larger design schemes.
They also deny the unique and ultimate “form” in favor of a network’s syntax. They tend to substitute the object’s design with the design of networked multiplicities. Finally, they question the ubiquity of design as an end of work process, linking it to the (local) use value production.
