This paper presents experiments of association between a hackerspace and a design studio at the Federal University of Santa Catarina. In two different semesters, students designed and constructed proposals for ephemeral and interactive small-scale spatial interventions using physical computing. The Tarrafa Hacker Clube members shared their collaborative environment with the students and tutors throughout these academic experiments. The dynamic infrastructure of the hackerspace introduced relevant methods and ethics for this collaborative and transdisciplinary work. This hybrid approach suggests meaningful possibilities for the future of architecture education and practice.
