9. CLASS: How To Design An Open Source
Circular Product?
With A Fitting Open Business Model?
I can teach students to design sustainable products for open circular
ecosystems. But I can usually talk to them once. They are surrounded
every day by 1000s of unsustainable closed products...

11. Fying for Sustainability Research!
A sustainability
researcher for 20
years who could not
imagine ways to
organize a european
research project
without constantly
flying around ...
12. What we can think and are able to
imagine is determined by what we see

How to get out of this
prision for our imagination?
19. Who were the first „hackers“?
MIT – Tech Model Railroad Club
(late 50‘s)
Hier ist ein Hacker „(...) jemand, der seinen Einfallsreichtum nutzt, um ein
kluges Ergebnis zu erreichen, einen Hack, ohne dies auf den Computer zu
beschränken. Das Wesen eines Hacks ist es, dass er rasch durchgeführt wird,
effektiv ist und unelegant sein kann. Er erreicht das gewünschte Ziel, ohne die
Systemarchitektur, in die er eingebettet ist, komplett umformen zu müssen,
obwohl er oft im Widerspruch zu ihr steht.“ (WIKIPEDIA, HACKER, CC-BY-SA)

This hacker knows.
But what is a sustainable
circular city?

56. Our Research
2013 – Start as „City Hacking Academy“ at openit.cc
2015 – Continued as „The City Is Open Source“ at
thecityisopensource.de
2018 – Now „Hackers Closing Loops“ programme at
mifactori.de
