Abstract

This paper examines the manufacture of bamboo-weaving products and Chinese handicraft innovation projects. Three cases of PACC design projects for bamboo-weaving products are discussed according to the related theory of co-design. The realization of co-design requires three levels: preliminary communication; non-designer influences on the “FFE”; and non-designers proposing design ideas. Co-design requires the designer to give up some decision-making authority and believe that all members of the team have equal creativity. Once the team can cross the chasm of “mutual translation” successfully, co-construction and sharing will be easier. In terms of the method of cooperation, all three cases use the co-design method. However, the three cases each use a different type of collaboration pattern. The first model can be adopted when there are language barriers and cultural differences between participants. The second model is needed when time and space do not allow participants to gather in one place. The third model can be used when neither of these two limitations exists.
