Mathew Owen
My background is in architecture, grauating with a Bachelors degree from Amsterdam and a Masters Degree from Barcelona. My personal intersts regarding the Fab Academy and Fab Labs are to develope prototypes related to architecture and self-sufficient design (including energy optimizatin, urban/ vertical farming, and making architecture an interactive and dynamic environment).
While studying at IaaC (Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia) I had the opportunity to work along side the Fab Lab (Fab Lab BCN) on various projetcs throughout the degree program. I also followed many workshops and experienced first hand what projects were being made by other users of the Global Fab Lab Network. What I love about the Fab Lab and why I wanted to join the Fab Academy over another course is that it is open source and involves the sharing of ideas among eachother instead of locking up ideas for personal profit or benefit. Some of the greatest achievements over the past decade have been through open source design and ideas. Furthermore I believe that the Fab Lab network is only growing at a huge rate, I would gladly be part of that growth and explore the options it offers.
