Entrelac Amman,Jordan

Entrelac是NADAAA和藝術家拉亞·卡西西（Raya Kassisieh）之間就“首屆安曼設計周”進行合作的一個項目。項目由300公斤未經染色的手工編織羊毛組成，從掛在Electric Hangar展廳屋頂的結構垂下，采用傳統工藝進行對話的數字化設計。設計團隊利用計算機模擬物理來放大針織面料展品的近似值，然后由來自約旦各個地區的二十名婦女手工編織展品。女工匠們巧妙地在家里和小作坊里把每一件作品織好。這種家庭規模的生產網絡方式確保能夠快速在Electric Hangar展廳內安裝Entrelac。利用展廳高度和現有桁架結構，將各種微小材料手段轉化為精致的圍護結構，有效地將平面空間化。重新設計安裝裝置的想法一開始就令人謙卑和鼓舞人心。

Entrelac is a collaborative project between NADAAA and artist Raya Kassisieh for the inaugural Amman Design Week. The work consists of 300 kg of un-dyed wool, hand knit and hung from the roof structure of The Electric Hangar exhibition hall, placing in dialogue digital design with traditional craft. The design team utilized computer simulated physics to relax an approximation of the knit fabric exhibit which was then hand knit by a team of twenty women from all regions of Jordan. The craftswomen skillfully knit each strand of the work in their homes and small workshops. This network of domestically scaled production allowed for Entrelac’s rapid installation within the Electric Hangar exhibition hall. Minimal material means were transformed into a delicate enclosure taking advantage of the exhibition hall’s height and existing truss structure: effectively spatializing a surface. The notion of re-purposing the installation was at once humbling and inspiring.
