About Heritage Spark Hönnunarhugsunarverkfærasett
Heritage Spark er kennsluverkfærasett fyrir hönnunarvinnu sem byggir á óáþreifanlegum menningararfi. Verkfærasettið inniheldur þrjú spilasett. Arfleifðarspil kynna tíu birtingarmyndir óáþreifanlegs menningararfs til að ná fljótum skilningi. Persónuspil gera kleift að rannsaka hverja arfleifðarmynd út frá ólíkum hlutverkum. Tæknispil stinga upp á tæknilegum valkostum sem geta veitt innblástur að nýjum hugmyndum. Tveir hugmyndaflatir, einn fyrir einstaklinga og einn fyrir teymi, styðja við samvinnu. Spilin eru stafrænt prentuð á húðaðan pappír og skorin út með stansi. Heritage Spark er ætlað nemendum sem hafa enga fyrri þekkingu á viðfangsefninu.

Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- Unique Properties
- Heritage Spark is one of the few auxiliary tools for Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) designing in China. It is highly accessible to students unfamiliar with ICH, enabling them to quickly grasp its various types. Using a collaborative role-playing analysis method, it streamlines the design and creative process. Beyond being a design aid, it also plays a key role in promoting ICH.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The cards measure 95mm x 133mm with a thickness of 0.3mm. The toolkit includes two thought canvases: a personal canvas (A4 size, 210mm x 297mm) and a team canvas (460mm x 960mm) for collaborative work. The packaging box measures 460mm x 320mm x 80mm, designed for convenient storage and transport. The materials and dimensions ensure durability and usability, making the toolkit suitable for various design and brainstorming scenarios.

- Production Technology
- The design was created using Photoshop and Illustrator, then digitally printed on 300g coated paper and die-cut for precision. The process included user research, workshop testing, and design thinking methodologies to refine content and usability, ensuring the toolkit aligns with user needs. The cards were produced in small batches, ensuring quality and adaptability.
- Design Challenge
- The challenge lies in designing a set of cards that can enable ICH (Intangible Cultural Heritage) novices to quickly understand its value and essence, while also effectively stimulating user empathy to identify pain points from the perspective of ICH bearers. The cards must balance knowledge dissemination with thought stimulation, ultimately encouraging users to contribute innovative ideas for the future of ICH.
- Research
- Heritage Spark cards are designed to provide a quick entry point for users with no prior knowledge of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH). This research explores how card design can effectively convey ICH knowledge, foster user empathy, and encourage users to adopt the perspective of ICH bearers. The cards guide users to identify challenges facing ICH, define problems, and utilize divergent thinking to generate innovative solutions for ICH protection and transmission.
- Inspiration
- In the era of rapid technological growth, the protection and promotion of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) face major challenges. Our course experience and student feedback reveal a lack of ICH awareness. To foster innovative ICH design, it is essential to quickly grasp its essence, analyze its status from various angles, and explore its fusion with new technologies. Thus, we created Heritage Spark, a toolkit to inspire creative ICH design.
- Project Duration
- The project started in Hangzhou, China, in January 2024.
- Operation Flow
- The toolkit includes ICH cards, introducing ten ICH to build a quick understanding. Character cards help users explore ICH from different roles and perspectives. Technology cards offer various tech options to inspire diverse designs through integration. Additionally, two thought canvases support process development and idea exchange, fostering collaborative design.
