Cindy Kohtala is a postdoctoral researcher in the department of design, Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture, Espoo, Finland. Her research focuses on how peer-to-peer communities in fab labs and makerspaces organize themselves and address socio-environmental sustainability in their visions and practices. She also writes and lectures on urban activism and sustainable design. Yana Boeva is a postdoctoral researcher in the cluster of excellence on Integrative Computational Design and Construction for Architecture at the University of Stuttgart. She has studied makerspaces and fab labs in Western Europe and Canada focusing on the sociopolitical and historical dimensions of digital fabrication in design. Her research explores the transformation of design, architectural practice, and different user perceptions with the inclusion of active matter and automation in contemporary fabrication models. Peter Troxler is a research professor at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences, the Netherlands. He studies the impact of readily available direct digital manufacturing technologies as well as of the makers' design and manufacturing practice on the creative and manufacturing industries; and the emergence of networked co-operation paradigms and business models based on lateral governance and on open source principles.
