- Bricolage
- The transfer fails productively as well: an engineering education that treats bricolage as an embarrassing predecessor to proper design loses the ability to operate in the low-resource conditions where bricolage is the only available move — surgeons in war zones, public servants in austerity, engineers improvising a scrubber from tape and cardboard in a crippled spacecraft cannot be served by an engineering frame alone, and recognising bricolage as a legitimate structural mode rather than a failure of planning is itself a transferable correction.
This sourceDocuments the jury-rigged carbon-dioxide scrubber adapter the Apollo 13 crew built from materials on board (CM lithium-hydroxide canisters, plastic bags, cardboard, hose, duct tape) to fit incompatible LM fittings — the canonical high-stakes improvised-engineering case.
