Entrelac Amman,Jordan

Entrelac是NADAAA和艺术家拉亚·卡西西（Raya Kassisieh）之间就“首届安曼设计周”进行合作的一个项目。项目由300公斤未经染色的手工编织羊毛组成，从挂在Electric Hangar展厅屋顶的结构垂下，采用传统工艺进行对话的数字化设计。设计团队利用计算机模拟物理来放大针织面料展品的近似值，然后由来自约旦各个地区的二十名妇女手工编织展品。女工匠们巧妙地在家里和小作坊里把每一件作品织好。这种家庭规模的生产网络方式确保能够快速在Electric Hangar展厅内安装Entrelac。利用展厅高度和现有桁架结构，将各种微小材料手段转化为精致的围护结构，有效地将平面空间化。重新设计安装装置的想法一开始就令人谦卑和鼓舞人心。

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.
