<h3>Meet the founders of the firsts Fab City Hubs on-the-making in Europe!</h3> <p>Fab City Hub Voices is a series of webinars to learn about the challenges involved in activating productive and creative hubs, but also to understand all the opportunities they open up for the local innovation ecosystem.</p> <p>After getting to know some of the references in Europe, we continue with new sessions with which we aim to improve understanding of what a Fab City Hub is, and how it could be implemented. To do this we will talk directly with the protagonists of the nine pilot projects being implemented in nine cities as part of the European consortium CENTRINNO.</p> <p>Through these meetings we aim to highlight the difficulties and challenges faced by the promoters of these spaces, but also the progress they propose for the territorial ecosystem along 5 main lines: Circular Economy, Social Inclusion, Vocational Training and Heritage.</p> <p><strong>Roberto Vdovic</strong> is an architect, researcher, educator and entrepreneur. He holds a Master’s degree in Architecture and a Master’s degree in Computer Visualization from the University of Zagreb.</p> <p>His research fields are in interactive multimedia design, parametric and generative design, and the integration of building information modeling with digital fabrication. He is one of the founders and president of FabLab Croatia, one of the first in the SEE. He has been project leader of STEAM week since 2018 and producer of the first Zagreb Maker Faire since 2019. In 2019 he started Adriatic GreenLab, an initiative to create a center where makers can contribute responsibly with accessible and inclusive solutions to real-life problems in remote areas.</p>

It used to hold medium sized industries, including garages, but has over the last 20 years experienced a transition with former industrial buildings being replaced with new and modern residential buildings. However the area still contains visual sights of the industrial history and now contains a good amount of small and medium sized creative businesses especially food and wood/crafting industries, who are attracted by low prices, the facilities and local atmosphere. With CENTRINNO the pilot wants to develop and test models or concepts for a distributed hub that is scalable to other areas in Copenhagen.</p> <h3>Meet the founders of the firsts Fab City Hubs on-the-making in Europe!</h3> <p>Fab City Hub Voices is a series of webinars to learn about the challenges involved in activating productive and creative hubs, but also to understand all the opportunities they open up for the local innovation ecosystem.</p> <p>After getting to know some of the references in Europe, we continue with new sessions with which we aim to improve understanding of what a Fab City Hub is, and how it could be implemented.

<p>Europe is full of heritage sites that silently claim a new life, especially in rural and remote areas. Who does not know at least one of those? It could be that castle in the middle of nowhere or that ancient mansion in the village where you were born. </p> <p>It is common to dream about what they could become if revitalised, but often the dream quickly crashes with a lack of vision, maybe a poor community engagement, or simply because “this is not in a big city so nobody cares”. </p> <p>But what if those remote, rural locations had the potential to become the cradle to grow solutions to our most important challenges as humanity? What if we needed to step back from the chaos of our cities to reinvent the way we live? </p> <p>In this webinar, you will discover the incredible story of Villa Buonaccorsi, a neglected 5 hectares Villa of the XVI century with one of the most important baroque gardens in Italy, located in an underrated rural region of central Italy. </p> <p>In a roundtable format, local citizens and international experts will debate the Villa Buonaccorsi case, trying to answer the following questions: <br> What are the secret ingredients behind the unique story of the Villa? <br> Why did the citizen mobilization succeed in such a difficult challenge? <br> Why and how local and global communities should claim cultural heritage as a fundamental human right? <br> How this experience could serve the replication of similar cases, in other remote areas of Europe, and potentially sketch out a network of similar initiatives? </p> <p>Volumes want to thank all the invited guest who took part to the Villa Viva webinar: <br> Maria Tomé (@_MariaTome - @OFIC_coop - @civicwise - https://ofic.coop/) from Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain <br> H.Cenk Dereli (@hcenkdereli - NOBON Architecture - https://www.nobon.net/) from Izmir, Turkey <br> Francesco Calzolaio (Faro Italian Platform - https://faroitaliaplatform.it/) from Macerata, Italy <br> <br> Villa Viva webinar has been facilitated by Domenico Di Siena and Francesco Cingolani of Volumes. <br> <br> We would like to give special thanks to Nassia Panagiotidi (@nassipicreativegr - https://www.instagram.com/nassipicreativegr) for his contribution to the Graphic Recording of the webinar.</p>
