Threads of Innovation

Threads of Innovation is a four-year collaborative project between the Faculty of Design, CEPT University, India, and the Faculty of Architecture and Design, University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Norway. Established in 2021, it promotes interdisciplinary and intercultural interactions in art, crafts, architecture, and design by integrating design studio culture and pedagogy with traditional practices from Norway and India.

Through academic exchanges, participatory workshops, immersive exhibitions, field-based visits, hands-on exploration, and experiential learning platforms, Threads of Innovation fosters knowledge exchange between Indigenous artisans and global design communities, creating sustainable applications of craft knowledge through innovative projects and experimentation.
