Help me out- I know theres a lot, but any information on architecture that is related to a knot? this can be anything from looks like a knot to started-with a knot idea but turned into something else thing- baisically anything architecture(or design overall) thats related to a knot.
No more speed, I'm almost there; gotta keep cool now, gotta take care.
Last car to pass, here I go and the line of cars drove down real slow.

Check out Kenneth Frampton's 'Studies in Tectonic Culture.' He discusses knots and textile use in ancient nomadic architecture in the first chapter I believe.
I think Preston Scott Kohen (that might be spelled wrong) had some kind of Torus Klein Knot house (I don't know where' you'd find it if it exists). Actually now that I think about it in the back of Neil Denari's book Gyroscopic Horizons there's some kind of Torus/Klein action.
