Abstract

The work aims to construct a collaborative transformation path for handicraft knowledge based on generative tools to address the cultural knowledge loss and inheritance challenges in traditional handicrafts. Firstly, literature research was conducted to systematically review the definition, classification of generative tools, and the handicraft knowledge system. Then, generative communication tools such as collage-based co-creation and MPV-based context building were designed and applied to externalize tacit handicraft knowledge and construct a collaborative transformation path. Finally, a case study on Urad embroidery was used to test the path. Diverse generative tools, combined with strategies like cognitive apprenticeship, iterative application, and contextual immersion, enabled systematic transformation of tacit and explicit handicraft knowledge, reducing communication barriers in co-design. This path broke through traditional craft dissemination limitations, enabling complementary capabilities and co-evolution between designers and craftsmen in innovation, and promoting transformation and development of traditional handicraft products. Exploring the collaborative transformation path of explicit and tacit knowledge of handicrafts provides innovative paths and strategies for the protection and inheritance of traditional handicrafts, and deepens the theoretical framework for the protection of intangible cultural heritage.
