Weaving Spaces

Led the architectural design and concept development of Weaving Spaces, translating two-dimensional linework into dynamic, interwoven forms that create layered environments blending structure and landscape.

Role & Objective

  • Served as Lead Architectural Designer to explore weaving as both a conceptual and structural strategy in architectural form-making.
  • Aimed to transform abstract graphic studies into spatial, three-dimensional designs that encourage movement and interaction.
  • Focused on evolving weaving into a cohesive architectural language adaptable across multiple scales.

Actions Taken

  • Developed figure-ground abstractions from line drawings of a hair straightener, experimenting with rotations and color shifts to analyze spatial relationships.
  • Created physical models using interlaced planes that intersect at varied elevations and curvatures.
  • Scaled weaving concepts into architectural forms featuring arching, dipping planes and elevated extensions that visually connect site elements.
  • Designed habitable spaces where woven planes blur boundaries between structure and landscape, fostering layered circulation and exploration.

Results & Impact

  • Demonstrated the ability to translate abstract graphic ideas into sophisticated physical and spatial designs.
  • Established weaving as a formal and structural design tool capable of shaping both space and experience.
  • Delivered dynamic environments that invite exploration through interconnected forms and visual depth.
  • Developed a design approach that integrates weaving principles as a flexible method for architectural innovation.
