It emphasizes the maker movement as a response to the desire for unique, tangible creations, encouraging a shift to exploring different forms and experiences in design. Ultimately, it advocates for a future where hands-on work becomes integral to storytelling and design, moving beyond the limitations of rectangular digital interfaces.
