Fab Lab Insular, Puerto Williams
Fab Lab Insular in Puerto Williams brought digital fabrication to a remote southern community through an open, exploratory approach, letting organizers define its focus and programs as needs emerged.
The establishment of Fab Lab Insular in Puerto Williams, brought digital fabrication to this remote southern outpost. It was driven by a broad, exploratory aspiration to see what new opportunities might emerge for the local community and unique biocultural context, rather than solving a specific, predefined problem. This experimental approach towards new tools demanded significant self-direction from its organizers to define its operational focus, identify needs, and develop relevant programs.
