This article approaches the digitisation of the Intangible Heritage preserved by the traditional craft processes of SME manufacturing districts through a comparison of two case studies. Two distinct manufacturing areas – furniture and accessories in Tuscany (Italy) and Miao silverware in Guizhou Province (China) – are investigated in terms of their characteristics, structures and capacity to access technological innovation. From the analysis emerges a privileged role of the digital archive as a catalyst of creative and organisational processes. On the one hand, it favours the construction of an organised and transmissible memory that supports SMEs in their market competitiveness. On the other, it serves as a basis for developing user-experience processes aimed at dissemination and reintegration in the context of contemporary design.

Il contributo affronta la digitalizzazione del Patrimonio Intangibile custodito dai processi artigianali tradizionali dei distretti manifatturieri delle PMI tramite un confronto di due casi di studio. Due distinti territori produttivi – mobili e complementi in Toscana (Italia) e argenteria Miao nella Provincia di Guizhou (Cina) – sono indagati in termini di caratteristiche, strutture e capacità di accesso all’innovazione tecnologica. Dall’analisi emerge un ruolo privilegiato dell’archivio digitale, come catalizzatore di processi creativi e organizzativi, poiché da un lato favorisce la costruzione di una memoria organizzata e trasmissibile che supporta le PMI nella competitività dei mercati, dall’altro funge da base per lo sviluppo di processi di user-experience mirati alla divulgazione e al reinserimento nel contesto del design contemporaneo.

Abstract

This article approaches the digitisation of the Intangible Heritage preserved by the traditional craft processes of SME manufacturing districts through a comparison of two case studies. Two distinct manufacturing areas – furniture and accessories in Tuscany (Italy) and Miao silverware in Guizhou Province (China) – are investigated in terms of their characteristics, structures and capacity to access technological innovation. From the analysis emerges a privileged role of the digital archive as a catalyst of creative and organisational processes. On the one hand, it favours the construction of an organised and transmissible memory that supports SMEs in their market competitiveness. On the other, it serves as a basis for developing user-experience processes aimed at dissemination and reintegration in the context of contemporary design.
