Abstract
The aesthetic, structural, and functional aspects of weaving are parallel to the ideal Vitruvian model of an architecture that expresses an inclusive aesthetic, resonating from the logic of the design, structure and construction process. However, despite the strong historical connection between weaving and architecture at their earliest inception, the ideal model of weaving does not fully translate into most of today's architecture. In a quest to reinvent architectural weaving, the conception of weaving is challenged, reconfigured, and reformulated through in situ observation and computational design formulation. This dissertation proposes methodologies to interpret tacit knowledge in traditional weaving through an EthnoComputation lens and to reinvent architectural weaving with two Weaving Grammars.
