Abstract - Phase 1

Traditional crafts making is a performance-oriented design action from which the knowledge of making can be expanded from hand made to digital disciplines providing a new perspective for computational thinking. Many researchers have studied traditional crafting techniques to describe its form-finding process or to emphasize the socio-cultural aspects but with very little attention to the performative aspects of traditional crafting techniques. This project shows the Weaving shape and its spatial formation based on the process of traditional formal assembly. This research provides a creative and a transformative process by utilizing the traditional weaving technique and analyzes the structural, spatial and temporal aspects of the shape.
