Upgrade: Making Things Better
A practical antidote to the mindset of disposability and wastefulnessThis volume addresses the widespread tendency to discard broken items rather than to refurbish them. To counteract this trend, students at the University of Applied Sciences in Munich and ETH Zurich have been developing imaginative concepts for repairing a wide variety of objects, applying them both manually and by using digital techniques such as 3D printing.
