- This paper repositions and reconsiders the research from the AHRC funded project ‘Enhancing the authenticity and sustainability of the visitor heritage experiences through 3D printing technology’ between the author and an academic (Dr Constantia Anastasiadou) from the School of Tourism at Edinburgh Napier University in collaboration with Historic Environment Scotland. It disseminates the disruptive nature of the juxtaposing of a traditional heritage experience with the pop up ‘makerspace’. It positions the research within the discipline of ‘Technology and Society’ and the journal special issue which said ’Makerspaces are subjects in a plurality of institutional advances and developments. What kinds of hybrid arrangements emerge through these encounters, and what becomes of the occupied factories for peer production theory?’ This paper creates new knowledge by comparing traditional heritage experiences and an affluent paying public with ‘critical analysis to the plurality of collectives, spaces and futures that are assembling around increasingly accessible digital design and fabrication technologies’ and the more political theories around Technology and Society. The literature review combines philosophical analysis with research around pop up retail environments and the experience economy. This research uses the empirical data collected in situ at the first event from the AHRC funded project and unravels it in the context of a disruptive making environment. This has significance for a number of different fields of study at once.This paper looked at whether the relationship the public had with the heritage environment changed through a collaborative makerspace within the heritage environment itself. It also considered whether this somewhat unique set up might have relevance for the more political Maker Movement or Hackerspace. The research methodology included empirical data collected from working directly with the public with 3D printing, questionnaires, analysis of findings including coding and a substantive broad literature review.
