Local Craft Training Institute

Traditional crafts represent generations of knowledge, cultural identity, and sustainable making. However, many local crafts are rapidly disappearing due to lack of institutional support, formal training spaces, and public visibility.

The Local Craft Training Institute competition invites architects, designers, and students to envision a dedicated institute that not only trains future artisans but also preserves, showcases, and revitalizes local crafts as a living cultural practice. The project should function as a bridge between tradition and contemporary learning, creating spaces where craft is taught, practiced, exhibited, and economically sustained.
