In summer 2018 I had the opportunity to collaborate with Foteini Setaki and Panos Sakkas from ΤHE NEW RAW on the Second Nature Project, designing patterns for the artifacts 3D printed from the recycled marine plastic waste. Project was later exhibited by the Aikaterini Laskaridis Foundation in […]
Textiles have been used in architecture ever since humankind began to build. Already nomadic tribes have used their tensile strength, flexibility and adaptability to build their first shelters. Nowadays, the development of highly engineered fibers with growing strength-to-weight ratio as well as new production technologies […]
