Background:
The studio focuses on creating a new urban fabric and renewing the vitality of the streets. The 12 students in the studio choose the theme and the specified land respectively and built a small city jointly, with 30% commercial and 70% housing restrictions.
Description:
With the long history of various applications of textile, the development of textile manufacture had reached maturity in both the fashion industry and building industry. The project is a combination of 70% housing and 30% textile manufacturing studios. The textile manufacturer in a limited area of the project is mainly responsible for weaving the spun yarn to produce textile, dyeing, printing, and finishing the textile.
The concept of the project focuses on embodying the logic of the weaving form extracted from the process of spinning. Instead of only putting the weaving form on the facade, the project was trying to really realize the weaving logic of spatial design. At the scale of the city, it takes on the neighborhood and opens up a public space for the street to rest and visit.
