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、数字工具和制造方法，导致了后数字方法的出现。后数字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、工艺、生态和社会文化的相互依赖已经开始成为设计过程的关键方面。因此，负责任地创造混合设计方法是至关重要的，在这种方法中，计算工具与物质在发展新文化中协同工作。拟议的基于设计的研究旨在开发和检查建筑工艺的形式，同时制造原型。它使用纺织品作为媒介，探索如何重新解释工艺技术，以告知我们当前的设计，材料和生态方法。纺织是一种从史前时代就为人所知的工艺。它是一种建构和解构的表演行为，可以被认为是第一个建筑。因此，第一批已知的建筑师可以被认为是具有制作结构复杂的外壳的技能的编织者。此外，纺织品可以被视为一种媒介来表达故事，神话从一代传递到另一代，可以表明审美价值，技术进步和社会文化特征。该研究将探讨我们如何通过动态框架重新翻译，重新解释和构建工艺过程和理论的相似之处，以培养当前的数字设计方法。其目的是为建筑创造新的方法论和制造方法。本次探索将使用纺织品作为理论隐喻和建筑方法，结合工艺和计算的混合过程，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.
