Hands-on weaving reveals hidden patterns shaping nature, science, and the designed world.

Mere om

Weaving is presented as a knowledge producing method. It will be demonstrated how simple craft rules generate complex forms. These rules and patterns also appear in nature, science and engineering. They can also be applied to architecture and design. From this, weaving is presented as a common sharable language for understanding topology, geometry and form across disciplines. This matters because it bridges craft, science, engineering and design, offering new ways of thinking about sustainability, innovation and stimualting new forms of collaboration. The presentation will be an accessible deep-dive covering principles, analogues and applications. It will support a hands on, participatory workshop and exhibition where visitors can actively weave simple structures and experience how form emerges from basic rules. No prior knowledge is required. You will meet researchers from the Chair for Biohybrid Architecture – Royal Danish Academy.
