About Craft as Time Capsule Buug

Mashruucani waa dukumeentigii ugu dambeeyay ee Hsiao-Wen & # 039; cilmi baadhista tesis ee samaynta farsamada gacanta sida habka ilaalinta ee da'da dhijitaalka ah ee hadda jirta. Buuggu wuxuu ka kooban yahay saddex qaybood, isagoo eegaya kala-guurka u dhexeeya muuqaalka iyo muuqaalka, maadada iyo xogta, ka-qaybgalka isticmaalaha iyo waayo-aragnimada dhinaca samaynta farsamada iyo ilaalinta. Markii dunidu ay uga gudubtay dhaqdhaqaaqyada jireed una gudubtay is-dhexgal toos ah, baahiyo cusub iyo qaabab ka-qaybgalka agagaarkeenna ayaa la kiciyay. Isbeddelka noocan oo kale ah maaha oo kaliya inuu soo bandhigo shayga iyo farsamada, laakiin sidoo kale dhammaan dhaqanka guud ahaan.

Unique Properties: This project is a documentation of Hsiao-Wen's thesis research on craft making as a preservation methodology in the current digital age. The book consists of three parts, examining the intertranslation between the physical and the digital from the perspectives of crafts. The typographic choices in this book are a combination of Serif, Sans Serif, and Script typefaces, symbolic of the longevity of crafts and human’s use of technology.
Dimensions & Packaging: The dimension of the book is in US letter size: 216 mm x 279 mm.
Tags: design research, book design, editorial design, graphic design, typography, print, craft, technology, archive, postdigital, preservation
Production Technology: The book was intended to be printed on newsprint papers and have debossing on the cover. Unfortunately, the plan was postponed due to the pandemic.
Research: This research aims to look at the transition between the physical and virtual, material and data, user engagement and experience from the perspective of craft making and preservation. Craft has always been a reflection of culture and identity. As our lives transitioned from physical activities to virtual interactions, new needs and forms of engagement with our surroundings were prompted. And such change not only exhibits via the object and the technology, but also the whole culture at large.

As craft and preservation being the two main cores of this research, it is important to explore different ways to archive the research process. In addition to this book, the designer had also built a website to document the research in another format. It is also interesting to compare the same content on two different mediums.
Inspiration: This book can be seen as an archive that not only documents the designer's research in writing but also organizes several other design projects, experiments, and references in a clear structure that supports the main thesis. The grid and the rigid layout of the book are inspired by letterpress, which plays a key role in my research on technology and web interface design.
Project Duration: This research started in 2019 and was finalized in May 2020. The book was designed after the completion of the research, from June to August 2020.
