I like Eloise’s discusion above- It is a good point about Doshi and Levien’s engagement with old craft knowledge. good work.
It reminds me of another project I saw on Dezeen by Commonwealth and Josh Davis-http://www.dezeen.com/2007/07/03/tropism-commonwealth-vs-joshua-davis/

I think that for that, Commonwealth worked with a traditional porcelain maker, but ultimately took a Rapid Prototyping model to for them to make molds from. That is next level, and very contemporary way of engaging the knowlege of crafts people.

Good discusions on dezeen!

Try and have a look at Ferragamo: you can find many books about shoes (from the past and not only) and their manufacturing.
