The focus of the design studio was how the production of textiles, their properties and their use can inform architecture. Each student was to design a building individually using the analysis of our chosen materials and translating those properties into architecture.We began by studying textiles, their structure and their use and created forms and spaces using the textiles of our choice.Then we were asked to document and analyze three potential sites for our buildings. After choosing a site we were to research 4 different types of program for the space: clothing retail, textile factory, seamstress shop or exhibit space. Using our site analysis and knowledge of our textiles we were to distill the information into a concept and translate it into a building.The program was derived by choosing a type of program and researching precedents to understand the spaces needed for the chosen program:EXHIBIT SPACEMAIN EXHIBITGATHERING SPACEEXHIBIT DISPLAYOFFICESMAIN ENTRYSPECIAL DISPLAYThrough my analysis of the textile (burlap) and site analysis (Site 2- Chinatown Park/Dainty Dot)I derived the concept of constant and variable. When a piece of fabric is pulled or folded it reacts to forces imposed in it. The textile creates varying forms and spaces depending on how much force and in which direction the force is acting on it. I used reaction of the textile to create a hierarchy of spaces and program for the exhibit space.
