Fiber-Form is interested in craft traditions, fiber art, and textiles applied at the body and building scale. Occupying a defunct textile factory, the site leverages the increasing automation of manufacturing to shift the program from exploitative textile labor practices to participatory space making through fiber craft. Continuous material experimentation fills the factory floor, creating occupiable space through its folding and slumping. This leads to an alternative to increasingly thin and rigid building envelopes, creating a system that knits together cladding, insulation, mechanical systems, and water delivery systems into a single assembly.
