description This paper aims to present a computationally based methodology and subsequent results arising from the application of weaving techniques for the construction of Weaving Enclosure, an experimental architectural system. The research explores the close correspondence between material properties and assembly systems found in traditional basketry, studied through analytical and laboratory tests, and then implemented through finite element analysis and algorithmic workflow. The goal is to explore how to extend the knowledge gained through a millennial relationship between man and weaving under the perspective of contemporary design and fabrication techniques. In order to do so, a series of computational experiments and simulations have been introduced to highlight the integration of materiality, digital morphogenesis and fabrication. The paper presents a design workflow for the generation of specific geometries related to the elastic nature of the material and the simulation of its behavior based on variable environmental conditions. The results of this method showcase the design and fabrication of an interior partition, which highlights the properties of digitally conceived patterns, tuned parametrically to offer structural resistance and visual screening. The interaction between digital and craft techniques for natural materials represents a promising field to decrease the environmental impact of the construction industry. Nevertheless, novel assembly systems such as wood weaving seem to still have unexplored potential in terms of performative and tectonic characteristics which highlight important findings when approached as a material-driven design and fabrication process.

Este artigo tem como intuito apresentar um trabalho baseado em uma metodologia computacional e os resultados decorrentes da aplicação de técnicas de tecelagem para a construção de um sistema arquitetônico experimental, oWeaving Enclosure. A pesquisa explora a correspondência entre as propriedades do material e a montagem de sistemas encontrados em cestos trançados tradicionais, estudados através de ensaios analíticos, de laboratório e, realizando análise de elementos finitos com processo de trabalho algorítmico. O objetivo é explorar como ampliar o conhecimento obtido através de uma relação milenar entre o homem e a tecelagem sob a perspectiva do design contemporâneo sob as técnicas de fabricação. Com essa finalidade, foi introduzida uma série de experimentos computacionais e simulações para destacar a integração da materialidade, morfogênese digital e fabricação. O artigo apresenta um processo de design para a geração de geometrias específicas relacionadas com a natureza flexível do material e a simulação do seu comportamento com base nas condições ambientais variáveis. Os resultados deste método mostram o projeto e a fabricação de uma divisória, que destaca as propriedades de padrões digitalmente concebidos, definidos parametricamente para oferecer resistência estrutural e anteparo visual. A interação entre técnicas digitais e artesanais para materiais naturais representa um campo promissor para diminuir o impacto ambiental da indústria da construção. No entanto, novos sistemas de montagem, tais como a tecelagem com madeira parecem ainda não ter sido explorados em termos de características performativas e tectônicas que destacam importantes descobertas quando abordadas como um processo de design e fabricação orientada ao material.
