Abstract

The ALICE (Atelier de la Conception de l’Espace) laboratory of the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) has been developing for several years a contributive approach to design. The choice of the term contribution is informed by the work of philosopher Bernard Stiegler, who explored the concept to overcome the passive role usually granted to citizens in our democracies. Animated by the movement of the digital commons, where people might contribute freely and anonymously to Wikipedia or developing free software for anyone to use, contribution seeks to propose an alternative to the exploitative relations between economy, environment and knowledge at the core of our climate emergency. At ALICE, we have been exploring the opportunities offered by contributive workshops, searching for an alternative architectural practice based on collective authorship, common knowledge and limited resources.

Free software

Free software or libre software or libreware is computer software distributed under terms that allow users to run the software for any purpose as well as to study, change, and distribute it and any adapted versions. Free software is a matter of liberty, not price; all users are legally free to do what they want with their copies of a free software (including profiting from them) regardless of how much is paid to obtain the program.

Free and open-source software

Free and open-source software (FOSS) is a term used to refer to groups of software consisting of both free software and open-source software where anyone is freely licensed to use, copy, study, and change the software in any way, and the source code is openly shared so that people are encouraged to voluntarily improve the design of the software. This is in contrast to proprietary software, where the software is under restrictive copyright licensing and the source code is usually hidden from the users.

Common knowledge

Common knowledge is knowledge that is publicly known by everyone or nearly everyone, usually with reference to the community in which the knowledge is referenced. Common knowledge can be about a broad range of subjects, such as science, literature, history, or entertainment. Since individuals often have different knowledge bases, common knowledge can vary and may sometimes take large-scale studies to know for certain what is common knowledge amongst large groups of people. Often, common knowledge does not need to be cited.
