| Abstract: | Global
concerns towards environment have been consistently increasing. The whole world
is moving towards the energy conservation and use of alternative natural
methods in every walk of life. Simultaneously, there has been an enormous
value, demand and a preference which is growing for niche hand crafted
products. The whole perception towards the handmade product and environment
friendly products is fast changing and is looked at as almost divine, be it
hand woven Japanese silk or handcrafted Swiss wrist watches. These products
have attained a special status catering to very niche clientele. One can
clearly connect the vacuum of availing the natural human resources/expertise
and at the same time produce product of very high value, also contributing in a
small way to the green revolution. In this paper, it proposes a design
methodology wherein products are strategically designed in such way that the
human energy and traditional knowledge / skills are leveraged to develop new
generation of sustainable product. |
