TOI project proposes a collaborative educational platform combining design studio culture and teaching pedagogy with traditional craft practices in NTNU, Norway and CEPT, India.
The studio Celebrating Crafts and NTNU studio is part of the International Academic Research Project - Threads of Innovation (TOI) - (2021 -2025) between the Faculty of Design, CEPT University and Faculty of Architecture and Design, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Norway which Diku has awarded the grant of UTFORSK 2020 - The Directorate for Internationalization and Quality Development in Higher Education.
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 members, craftspeople and professionals 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.
This project is coordinated by Aleksandra Raonic, Associate Professor at Department of Architecture and Technology, Faculty of Architecture and Design, NTNU and Jay Thakkar, Associate Professor at Faculty of Design, CEPT University and Co-Founder, DICRC, CRDF.
