The DreamWeaver project is currently being exhibited and the 4th Architectural Beijing Biennalle (and previously exhibited at the Design HUB Museum in Barcelona).
The Dreamweaver project explores the emergence of an architectural system through a symbiotic recyclage of technology(knitting machines) and material(plastic, yearn, copper, etc).
Knitted meshes allow the formation of knots , not requiring any other type of material but the knitted one; from these typologies of knots, a bottom-up structural system emerges, reconnecting one knitted profile to the next, and so on.
The Dreamweaver is a CNC knitting machine that propels an emergent structural/sustainable system , outcome of a computation protocol between Rhinoscript, Grasshopper, Arduino and Processing, where the algorithmic model is progressively developed through Structural Logics, Programatic Logics, Fabrication and Assemblage Logics.
