ABSTRACT
The space-making craft workshop findings indicated that the Rhizome Approach was effective in helping the participating designers to address sustainability in a more holistic manner in the case of the bamboo craft of the Kotwalia community in India. A whopping 81% of Vietnamese respondents found the directions outlined by the Rhizome Framework relevant to their context, which indicates that the framework is potentially applicable to craft scenarios in developing countries such as India and Vietnam. More Indian than Vietnamese respondents seem to have learned new sustainability-related factors through the Sustainability Checklist. Indian respondents were design students who had little exposure to sustainability, while the Vietnamese respondents had received several inputs in sustainability already. More Vietnamese respondents than Indian could understand the Sustainability Checklist just by reading it. More respondents answered they were familiar with sustainability before the presentation than after.
