Opportunities and Challenges of Digitalization of Traditional Craftsmanship from the Perspective of Design
The preservation of traditional craftsmanship is a societal cultural endeavor closely tied to economic,social,cultural,and environmental sustainability.Design intervention is an effective way to integrate traditional craftsmanship into modern life,with studies suggesting that becoming a digital artisan enhances competitiveness.Based on literature and practical research,this study systematically analyzes the role of digitalization in the development of traditional craftsmanship from a design perspective,providing constructive and guiding insights for the protection of intangible cultural heritage.Digital technology offers new pathways for recording,showcasing,and disseminating crafts,innovative methods for design and production,fresh approaches to archaeology and artifact restoration,and platforms for interdisciplinary collaboration and co-creation,while also contributing to ecological civilization.However,the study emphasizes the importance of vigilance against issues such as misuse of elements,hidden cultural risks,inclusivity,talent training,illegal trade,and regulatory gaps.It advocates for leveraging the positive impacts of digital technology while mitigating its adverse effects,fostering a balanced perspective on the opportunities and challenges digitalization presents to traditional craftsmanship,and seeking a sustainable development path.
