Open models are now famous for being adopted in many fields outside software development, and we can see this as a proof of their importance and a clear sign of their success. One of the most interesting fields where we witness the adoption of Open models is the Design one, where we can find cases of open web design ( OpenDesigns , Open Source Web Design , Open Web Design ), open product design ( Openmoko , VIA OpenBook , Bug Labs , Zoybar ), open meta-design processes , and even open architectural design . Even if slowly, an usually competitive and ego-driven professional community like the design one is starting to realize what are the potentials for the collaboration and sharing of Open Design initiatives .

It was published in the Knowledgeboard on the 24th of September 2004 , and it started a very nice conversation (there, and in the old KB forums). It And how to keep in mind that the best system is not the present one but that which gives the best results for our ultimate aims: we need to be open to change.

Article: On the Open Design of Tangible Goods. 8220;Open source software development has received considerable scholarly attention, much of which is based on the presumption that the ‘open source model’ holds some lessons of broader applicability.
