By reflecting the operation model of "workshop" of Bauhaus that was adopted by its Masters of Form and Technical Masters a century ago, this paper proposes a development model of craftsman's heritage that combines theory with practice. As Taiwan's craft industry is facing with transformational challenges, the "New Fun in Craft" project is an effort to inherit craftsmanship with National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Institute serving as its platform to bring craftsmen and faculty-student teams from design field together, to create new crafts by adopting new technologies and techniques. Through brand value-adding creative designs, the project aims to realize the transition of craft development from tradition-focused to innovation-oriented approach, for the purpose of seeking new breakthrough opportunities. This paper adopted the methods of literature review and multiple case analyses to explore the connections between the development of Taiwanese crafts and the Bauhaus movement from the cases of the "New Fun in Craft" project. These connections revealed six features complying with the Bauhaus spirit in craft industry. By investigating procedure and product separately, we discover that craft manufacturing process and traditional skill inheritance have changed. Meanwhile, in the aspect of product, aside from color, form and function of craft, people emphasize culture translation to strive for identity of consumption. Finally, the following conclusions were reached: 1) Although traditional craftsmanship is still required to maintain the necessary "hand-touch" value, creative tools of new technology can also help to enhance the commercialization of crafts. 2) The collaboration between craftsmen and designers is more capable of creating crafts that fit better to our modern life. 3) The symbolic meaning behind the appearance of crafts can better be translated through design, so that the local identity of their origins can be elevated to be effective expressions of the crafts' inherent meanings and thus can enhance their values. |
