Industrial craft makes us more capable in facing future challenges. ### Highlights >Industrial craft — residing as it does at the intersection of manual work and mechanical industry — humanises our relation to technology and mass-production, and keeps us in closer touch with the fundamentals of the material world. We cannot solely rely on digital solutions to the impending problems of the future. Without industrial craft, we would be far less capable and more superficial as human beings attempting to survive in this fragile world.
