<p>This talk will showcase how FOSS design tools such as
FreeCAD were used during the WikiLab project in São Paulo,
Brazil, and how this can change the game in the construction
field.</p>

<div class="event-description">
<p>The <a href="https://wikilab.blog.br/">WikiLab</a> is a
collaborative construction based on the <a
href="https://wikihouse.cc/">WikiHouse</a> project, that
started in São Paulo, Brazil, in 2017 and is still
occurring, being a continuous experience. The construction
was done mostly by a team of volunteers, it mixes
architecture, CNC manufacturing, collaborative planning,
construction and management, ecological, technological and
social research, and the whole design was done completely
with free software, mostly <a
href="http://www.freecadweb.org">FreeCAD</a>. In this
talk, I'll try to showcase how the use of free software had
a very special impact on the project design and
construction, how this reaches areas where no commercial
software entered before, and how this can change the way we
do architecture.</p>
