    We were encouraged to study fabrics and their relationship to architecture. So using digital fabrication methods, we devised a way to create a fabric that could be draped over objects. We modeled the fabric in Maya and laser cut the pieces. My partner (see in pic) and I spent 7 hours weaving the “fabric”. We presented our fabric today and were lead to study Gaudi models using tension strings to hang the model in its final position, so stay tuned for pics.
