Mutual Knowledge in Comparative Case Study of Indigenous Craft Practices in Las Loceras de Pilén, and Bát Tràng.

The collaborative design-build project by the university students, in partnership with the intergenerational transmission of material expertise and artisanal skills within the Las Loceras de Pilén community in Cauquenes, Chile, provides an opportunity to contemplate prevailing consumption patterns observed in economically developed regions of the Western world. This initiative sheds light on the growing awareness of finite resources, a realization that not only poses a threat to our environment but also erodes the rich tapestry of indigenous cultures. This resource depletion extends its influence into the realm of local craftsmanship1, as evidenced in the coastal mountain regions of Maule, Chile, where persistent drought conditions have intensified the challenges of sustaining traditional livelihoods.
