Structural Fibers / Atelier Weinand 2007 / 2008

The topic of this year's atelier was the development of architectural structures based on the logics and principles of textile fabrication techniques, such as weaving, knitting and braiding, both on conceptual and constructive levels.

Among the impressive outcomes were projects such as a braided arc, a plaited pavilion, an inflatable plaited structure, a plaited screen and a knitted greenhouse. The EPFL+ECAL Lab provided an appropriate environment and infrastructure to allow both the build-up and the exhibition of the results.
