Craft + Design Collaboration
The Threads of Innovation (TOI) is a collaborative project of four years between the Faculty of Architecture and Design, NTNU, Norway and the Faculty of Design, CEPT University, India. It proposes a collaborative educational platform at UG and PG level that will combine the design studio culture and teaching pedagogy with the traditional craft practices both in NTNU, Norway and CEPT University, India. TOI makes way for two kinds of alliances – one which is cross-disciplinary, between design, architecture and crafts, and the other cross-cultural, between Norway and India.

The students, faculty and the experts will continuously engage with each other and enrich the bipolar cultural knowledge in crafts, design and architecture throughout the program through knowledge sessions, site explorations, common assignments and workshops in the hybrid academic model - online and physical.

In India, the craft is a way of life. Craft Bazar or haat or mela is the common sightings in such context. But within the urban context, the craft has to redefine itself. In the recent decade, crafts are bringing a new wave of creating a material culture and emerging as a collaborative practice. It is time to celebrate this emergence of crafts, globally and within India by bringing them to the public domain through craft-design collaborations.
