Concept of Weaving















During our initial design charettes, several of our concepts involved the idea of weaving as a method or material intervention on both of the sites. The Clemson site is drawn to a canopy/tent-like covering element for the stage and the Pendleton group is approaching the landscape as a "quilt." Because the Pendleton site is so disjointed with projects scattered throughout the site--some projects started and not finished--I like the idea of "weaving" the Pendleton site together. The notion of "weaving" may manifest into our use of materials but it could also become our strategy in approaching the site. We also like the idea of creating a natural intervention...we looked to Andy Goldsworthy for inspiration.
