Braided Circuit
Traditional cultural education method
This interactive book design brings traditional Chinese patterns to life (and light). It blends artisanal bamboo weaving techniques with modern electronics through the use of conductive ink and paper tape. The braided patterns complete a circuit, and the pattern glows. This is also an educational tool that fosters a deeper understanding of traditional patterns.
Preserving cultural heritage and traditional knowledge is a major challenge in a highly technological society. This insightful and beautifully crafted conceptual design elegantly and ingeniously meets this challenge.
WINNER STATEMENTI believe that tradition and technology are not opposites, but partners. I’m grateful for this recognition that reminds us of our role in shaping thoughtful, culturally rooted education. This also shows that the iF DESIGN STUDENT AWARD celebrates educational creativity and cultural continuity.
