PRIMARY FUNCTION: App
INSPIRATION: The UN put forward the sustainable development goals, one of which is "decent work". In many countries, traditional culture cannot be developed, and the work of craftsmen is increasingly difficult to guarantee. Because traditional elements don't conform to the aesthetics of contemporary users. We want to design an application to promote traditional culture, improve the purchasing power of traditional cultural goods, let consumers feel the charm of culture and bring more income to craftsmen.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: There is a gap between traditional ethnic elements and modern aesthetics, which leads to the fact that traditional culture is no longer popular. We provided a bridge to connect "craftsmen", "designers" and "consumers". Through our application, users can learn more about traditional culture, diy their own unique cultural products, and every order can bring decent jobs for traditional craftsmen. We promote the development of traditional culture, and solve the employment problem of craftspeople.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Firstly, the system puts forward several personality test questions. And then AI algorithm recommends a traditional culture based on the user's personality characteristics. Next, users can customize their own products according to preferences. After customization, they can generate handicraft orders, and each order can bring income to handicrafts. In addition, users can browse the history and technology of various traditional cultures and feel the charm of culture.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in July 2021 in Hangzhou, China, was completed in February 2022.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Through user interview, there is a gap between traditional ethnic elements and modern aesthetics, which leads to the fact that traditional culture is no longer popular and the income of traditional craftsmen is no longer guaranteed. It's important for designers to participate in the design of traditional culture and provide a platform for users to create their own unique products and feel the charm of culture. Craftspeople are able to get decent jobs through commodity orders.
CHALLENGE: The biggest difficulty lies in understanding users' true attitude towards traditional culture. Consumers are interested in traditional culture, but they just think that traditional cultural elements are unfashionable and impractical. So we need to find a balance between tradition and modernity. How to enhance users' sense of participation, we not only provide commodity, but also hope that users can participate in the process of product customization and be interested in culture and technology.
