WEAVING AS METAPHOR LECTURE SERIES
Wednesday, April 6 @ 6:30pm
Explore the idea of weaving in the cultural landscape through a series of programs inspired by the work of Sheila Hicks. Four dynamic Philadelphia-area scholars will draw out these ideas in their own fields— architecture, economics, science, and religion—unraveling the ways weaving threads through so much of the contemporary and the ancient world.
Architecture: with Jenny E. Sabin, Department of Architecture, School of Design and Co-Director, Sabin+Jones LabStudio
Through the visualization and materialization of dynamic and complex datasets, Sabin has generated a body of speculative and applied design work that aligns crafts-based techniques with digital fabrication alongside questions related to the body and information mediation. This talk will look at intersections between architecture, computational models, textile structures and biology through multiple modes of working and collaborating. The material world that this type of research interrogates reveals examples of nonlinear fabrication and self-assembly at the surface, and at a deeper structural level. In parallel, this work offers up novel possibilities that question and redefine historical and contemporary relationships between architecture and textiles.
