Architectural Weaving: Kagome Bamboo Woven Pavilion – in this research course, the team developed method to build free-form large-scale woven structures with bamboo as frameworks to facilitate the growth of plants, and convert abandoned places to places of vibrancy and life.

Collectively, the studio started with an investigation and test with traditional hand weaving techniques such as the Kagome or Hexagonal Weave method. With those experiments, the logic of traditional weaving technique is extracted and re-interpreted into a digital design workflow that enables the design and assembly of large scale spatial freeform weave structure. With the system large-scale spatial weaving structure as a method of intervention for informal urban green space by creating an artistic spatial framework for nature.
The workflow began by exploring traditional weaving techniques and creating baskets, bowls and other 3-dimensional shapes from plastic strips, learning the importance of triangular locks and interweaving strips under and over one another for support. This knowledge was then transferred into the digital realm where a base model was made within the program Rhinoceros, ...
