Commons of the Alps – An Open Archive for Handicraft, Tradition, and Innovation
A Design-Commons is to be created for the Alpine region that digitally archives traditional and innovative craft knowledge. Unlike conventional archives, it will be open, freely accessible, and participatory. We are focusing on the period from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day, with women receiving appropriate representation.
