The plate in brief

Somewhere between 75 and 150 square meters of the building is a workshop. A clean room for electronics and sewing. An enclosed fabrication room with 3D printers, a CNC router, and a laser cutter, with extraction and acoustic separation. A shared tool library. An open archive of digital part files that anyone can print.

The things it makes are small and they matter: a replacement knob, an irrigation fitting, a grab bar for an older neighbor, a joint for a broken chair. The workshop comes with training and shared access, so the skill stays in the building along with the machines. On the wall, in Arabic: together we repair, we build, we live.
