Abstract

The aim of this paper is to identify some of the characteristics of innovation and collective work in different fablab organizations. We first define fablabs through a review of literature, situating related questions in the field of ergonomics and focusing our point of view on individual and collective activity. Secondly, we show how the results of our qualitative analyses (performed on data from interviews and observations of fablab managers, users, and projects from 13 fablabs) reveal 3 main types of fablab organization: community-oriented fablabs, academic fablabs and industrial fablabs, in which different activities are carried out. Fablab activity depends on lab users and the type of design projects carried out. The discussion will focus on the fablab organization findings, including the links between design/innovation project work, collective work and evolving rules, and how all of these aspects might direct activity-centered ergonomics research and actions in the future.

不同形式的实验室组织及其对合作与创新的影响。

本文的目的是找出不同实验室组织中创新和集体工作的一些特点。我们首先通过对文献的回顾来定义实验室，将相关问题置于人体工程学领域，并将视角聚焦于个人和集体活动。其次，我们将展示定性分析的结果（通过对 13 家实验室的管理人员、用户和项目进行访谈和观察得出的数据）如何揭示出三种主要的实验室组织类型：社区型实验室、学术型实验室和工业型实验室，在这些实验室中开展着不同的活动。实验室的活动取决于实验室用户和设计项目的类型。讨论将集中于实验室组织的研究结果，包括设计/创新项目工作、集体工作和不断演变的规则之间的联系，以及所有这些方面如何指导未来以活动为中心的人体工程学研究和行动。
