Project Description
Craft has a significant influence on society because it introduces a sense of community, fosters creativity, stimulates economic growth, and shapes cultural values and social harmony. The value and conservation of traditional crafts become more significant as time goes on. Traditional crafts are not relics of the past; they are living traditions with rich stories and craftsmanship.
“Innovation in Tradition” aims to strengthen community resilience and revitalise architectural interfaces that bridge the gap between artisans and urban society through a participatory design approach in the context of Indian state Rajasthan. A new cohesive identity and unity among diverse craftsmen has been established by the resurgence of native arts, languages, construction technologies, and ceremonies.
The project explores native handicraft communities and the significance of craft in their daily lives. It challenges the structure of current craft networks and their interdependence and looks at planning techniques that use conventional wisdom to create environments in a socio-ecological way in an effort to rethink rural infrastructure. It utilises local expertise to turn architecture into a tool for bringing traditional knowledge into the present.
