title = "Participation, not conservation: A computing approach to traditional craft",
abstract = "This paper introduces a research context characterised by a rich traditional heritage and by rapid urbanisation, and it argues for a discursive and participative, rather than a conservation-oriented approach to heritage conservation in this context. Harnessing the digital mastery found at architecture and design schools, the presented approach aims at the production of self-referential stories that hopefully engage students as well as others in appreciation of these traditions' intangible qualities. A case study based on this approach undertaken in the context of silk weaving is discussed, and some results are shown.",
