<p>Titled 'Common Thread,' the passage is inspired by the medieval city’s lace-making tradition, using an innovative woven <a href="https://archinect.com/news/tag/284789/fabric" target="_blank">fabric</a> to create what the team calls an “intricate spatial experience in a wave-like tunnel.”</p>

In collaboration with a team from <a href="https://archinect.com/schools/cover/343/technische-universiteit-delft-tu-delft" target="_blank">TU Delft</a>, the team explored how Common Thread could marry the tradition of the bobbin lace with modern technologies and new geometric possibilities.</p>
