On July 01, 2022, Dr. Bettina Minder will present their paper “Involving Craft Know-How and Traditions in Design Education – Cases of Switzerland, Turkey and India” at the DRS 2022 Bilbao Conference with Özlem Er and Shilpa Das. In this paper, they explore the past and current ways of linking with crafts in design education in three countries with different historical backgrounds and industrialization experiences. They identify some of the notable differences and overlaps in the integration of crafts in design schools in three different countries and show reciprocal influences between crafts and design schools with a modernist tradition.
