Fab Lab Barcelona
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fab Lab Barcelona (Fab Lab BCN) is a pioneering entity in the global Fab Labs network, established in 2007 as the first Fab Lab in the European Union[1][2] by the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC).[3] Located in Barcelona's Poblenou district, this former factory has transformed into a hub of ideas, innovation, and education. It quickly became a leader in the maker culture and digital fabrication, contributing significantly to the global network of Fab Labs.[4] The lab is renowned for blending digital fabrication technologies with community-driven[5] and pedagogical innovation.[6] It is home of the Distributed Design platform, the exchange and networking hub for the European maker movement, promoting the connection between designers, makers, and the market.[7]
