Workshop | Geodesic Foliations

Thursday Feb. 27, 2020 , 2 to 5 p.m.
Three colorful, wavy, grid-like layers (with red, green, and blue lines) are stacked above faded, gray grids, creating a floating, three-dimensional effect on a white background.

On February 27, 2020, the Materials Lab hosted a multi-disciplinary workshop with Luisa Fandino (Division of Textiles and Apparel, UT Austin), and Josh Vekhter (Computer Science, UT Austin). The workshop explored an innovative approach to fabricating three-dimensional surfaces in which weaving was explored not only as a way to create volume or flat surfaces, but as a tool to create interwoven double-sided panels from ribbon veneers.
