Abstract

Purpose: Bamboo and rattan are two materials that greatly affect all products, fixtures, and items designed and made by artisans in Lahore, Pakistan. The aims of this research encompass the study of the traditional and contemporary practices of design and the construction methodologies adopted by the people in the area regarding the formation of basic bamboo products and rattan accessories significantly basketry manufacture in Lahore. Coming from a backdrop of knowledge transfer within families, global resources and design trends, strong vectors for sustainability, minimalism, functionality, significant development in technique and aesthetics was taken up for analysis in the study. Further, it will discuss the economic stature of local artisans amidst the economic challenges. Methodology: For this purpose, a comprehensive research has been conducted into the bamboo and rattan market in Lahore, Pakistan. The study documented insights from the interviews with local artisans specializing in bamboo and rattan craftsmanship and all their observations. The research has gathered rich first-hand data on design practices, material uses and infusion of modern influence in their work, as it engaged actively with the craftspeople. Findings: The handicraft industry of bamboo and rattan in Lahore is feeling both challenges and opportunities. The industry had then begun to bear strained supplies, with growing costs towards the case of Pakistan's timber industry. Reduced spending by consumers has turned out to disrupt the supply line and eventually the livelihoods of those artisans, since rising material costs and government taxing were on the rise. It is strategic adaptations that will help the industry to prosper with government support and sustainable practice. Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: This study presented a number of recommendations for creating an awareness, developing frameworks, improving practices, and encouraging authorities to take major actions in order to support bamboo and rattan artisans in Lahore, Pakistan. It could be focusing on historic handcrafts, modern design concepts and construction techniques. Hence, through this process, the art of producing accessories will be revived, thereby harnessing the economic feasibility of the products and accessories industry of Pakistan.

巴基斯坦拉合尔当地工匠设计和制作竹制品和藤制品配件
目的:竹和藤这两种材料对巴基斯坦拉合尔工匠设计和制作的所有产品、装置和物品都有很大影响。本研究的目的包括研究传统和现代的设计实践,以及该地区的人们在制作基本竹制品和藤制配件方面所采用的施工方法,这对拉合尔的篮筐制造业具有重要意义。本研究以家庭内部的知识转移、全球资源和设计趋势为背景,分析了可持续性、极简主义、功能性、技术和美学的重大发展等方面的强大载体。此外,研究还将讨论当地工匠在经济挑战中的经济地位。研究方法:为此,我们对巴基斯坦拉合尔的竹藤市场进行了全面研究。研究记录了与当地竹藤工艺专业工匠的访谈及其观察所得。通过与手工艺人的积极接触,研究收集到了有关设计实践、材料使用以及在其作品中注入现代影响等方面的丰富的第一手资料。研究结果:拉合尔的竹藤手工艺产业既面临挑战,也面临机遇。随着巴基斯坦木材业成本的增加,该行业开始面临供应紧张的问题。由于材料成本上升和政府税收增加,消费者减少消费扰乱了供应线,最终影响了工匠的生计。战略调整将有助于该行业在政府的支持和可持续发展的实践中繁荣发展。对理论、政策和实践的独特贡献:本研究提出了一系列建议,以提高认识、制定框架、改进实践,并鼓励当局采取重大行动,支持巴基斯坦拉合尔的竹藤工匠。重点可以是历史悠久的手工艺、现代设计理念和建筑技术。因此,通过这一进程,生产配件的艺术将得到复兴,从而利用巴基斯坦产品和配件产业的经济可行性。
