Craft + Future = Synthesis

Crafts in 2050 will be a part of mandatory education which will create a bridge like no other between art and chemistry, design and maths, ideas, and materials as people in 2050 will look forward to learning materials and craft techniques and will explore and look forward to intervene new crafts and techniques with the help of upcoming technologies and materials. People in 2050 will might get a leap and will come up with the involvement of designers in a way that designers will be handling crafts and materials themselves and look forward to exploring and Intervent new techniques in order to achieve visual and functional requirements. So it can be stated that crafts will be empowered by designers in 2050 after thirty two years from now. At that time crafts will see the new shades of the materials as craft designers will be working with new materials and techniques which will re?ect the grounded techniques. of crafts. Thus, in 2050 a complete collaboration of craftspeople and designers will be there in the country and a major shift of rural to urban areas will happen. Craftspeople and designer working all together with the broad goals of preserving crafts as well as making them worth using in the era by coming up with new materials and ideas. This may grow the economy of the country in the future as well as the living conditions of the country as designers will require people to work and will give a better livelihood to them. In the project I have looked forward to stand in the place of a craft designer and tried to explore and come up with few interventions in terms of techniques. With the concept of synthesis, I have tried to bring together different materials and techniques in a way the synthesis and get into one frame.
