Sympoietic Eco-Plexis: A post-digital approach towards ecologically crafted textile architecture

在过去的十年中，人们开始重新思考材料、数字化工具和制造方法，从而形成了后数字化方法。后数字化意味着计算工具与社会文化和环境交织在一起，推动新的文化和物质形式，其中物质性，工艺，生态和社会文化的相互依赖性已经开始成为设计过程的关键方面。因此，负责任地创建混合设计方法至关重要，在这种方法中，计算工具与物质性协同工作，以发展新的文化。拟议的基于设计的研究着手开发和研究建筑工艺的形式以及制造原型。它使用纺织品作为媒介，探索如何重新解释工艺技术，以告知我们目前的设计，材料和生态方法。纺织是一种史前时期就已为人所知的工艺。它是一种建构和解构的表演性行为，可以被认为是第一个建筑。因此，第一个已知的建筑师可以被确定为具有生产结构复杂的外壳的技能的编织者。此外，纺织品可以被视为表达故事的媒介，神话从一代传到另一代，并可以表明美学价值，技术进步和社会文化特征。本研究将探讨我们如何从工艺流程和理论中重新翻译、重新解释和构建相似之处，以通过动态框架培养当前的数字化设计方法，旨在为建筑创造新的方法和制造方法。探索将使用纺织品作为理论隐喻和构建方法，与工艺和计算的混合过程合作，建立新的生态建筑文化。

In the past decade, there has been a shift towards rethinking materials, digital tools and fabrication methods, leading to a post-digital approach. Post-digital implies that the computational tools are interwoven with sociocultural and situated environments, pushing for new cultural and material forms where materiality, craft, ecology, and sociocultural interdependencies have started to become key aspects of the design process. Therefore, it is vital to responsibly create hybrid design approaches where computational tools work in synergy with materiality in developing new cultures. The proposed design-based research sets out to develop and examine forms of architectural craft alongside fabricating prototypes. It uses textiles as a medium to explore how craft techniques can be re-interpreted to inform our current design, material, and ecological methodologies. Textile making is a craft known from prehistoric times. It is a performative action of construction and deconstruction that could be considered as the first architecture. Thus, the first known architects can be identified as weavers with the skills to produce structurally complex enclosures. Also, textiles can be seen as a medium to express stories, myths transferred from one generation to another and can indicate aesthetic values, technological advancements, and sociocultural characteristics. The research will examine how we can re-translate, re- interpret and construct parallels from craft processes and theories to cultivate current digital design methodologies through a dynamic framework.The aim would be to create new methodologies and fabrication methods for architecture. The exploration will use textiles as a theoretical metaphor and construction method, working with hybrid processes of craft and computation to establish new ecologically crafted architectural cultures.
