Meeting Points. 2019
Working prototype for a reconfigurable composite material system, a tensility, and equilibrium of steel, wood, and fiber only made possible through each individual connection and the intuitive hands that created them. These different meeting points - between fiber and structure, material and space - arise in response to the design processes of Bedouin tent-making craft; communal practices of weaving and construction traditionally tasked to the Women of the tribe, the invisible architects in a patriarchal system. A collaboration between fifty-eight members of the community in Amman, Marka, Hisban, Madaba, Mukawir, Ma’an, Mraigha, Al-Quwayrah, Humayma, Disi, and Al-Mudawwara.
