Open-source architecture

Open-source architecture (OSArc) is an emerging paradigm that advocates for new procedures in the imagination and formation of virtual and real spaces within a universal infrastructure. Drawing from diverse references—modular design, avant-garde architectural, science fiction, language theory, and neuro-surgery—it adopts an inclusive approach, as per spatial design, towards a collaborative use of design and design tools by professionals and ordinary citizen users. The umbrella term citizen-centered design harnesses the notion of open-source architecture, which in itself involves the architecture of computer networks, and goes beyond it to the movement that encompasses building design professions as a whole.
