TEXTILES | RURAL R&D STATION

Justin Dillon Baatjes

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
How does a customer experience not only a companys product, but also the company itself? How do we begin to formulate an architectural solution for the identity of a company? With this is mind, how do we design an experience? The proposal is a hybrid building consisting of a ski lodge, office spaces, a wool production line, and a shearing shed which together make a R&D station for ICEBREAKER. The building is located at Pudding Hill in the Canterbury Plains at the bottom of Mount Hutt. The driving concept for the building is based on a weave - one of the operations used in creating a textile. Put simply, a weave brings two things together in a way that allows them to be seen as one, this is done with a warp going in one direction and a weft going in the other, together they create a weave. The design of the architecture comes through the inherent nature of banding which is present in a woven fabric. There are four building types, each one is conceived as an individual warp that is woven together spatially through visual thresholds and spatial orchestration. The relationships of each typology is arranged according to controlled linkages in programs. The shearing shed is placed next to wool production line for the flow of material production, the offices next to the wool production line for R&D to take place, and the ski lodge above the offices for people who wear woolly clothing to Mount Hutt Ski Field to get a glimpse of how their clothing is made. Not only does this arrangement allow us to break the barrier between research and development and material production but also allows customers and clients to experience the company. Using architecture as a facilitator for bridging barriers between programmatic stratifications we can strengthen relationships between tactile conditional elements of ICE BREAKER, ranging from the farmers, the wool production workers, the office workers, and the customers / clients

WEAVING FORMAL INVESTIGATION

An in-depth study of the weave in the digital realm. Working with existing principles of the idea of a weave formal geometries were produced which gave rise to a more complex and comprehensive understanding of the weave as a simple system separations that when manipulated allows for a more or less complex system to evolve.

PATTERNS

Patterns were used in a grasshopper script to extract binary data which was then Samples of a catalogue created to study the effects of changing the normal weave used to generate different woven geometries based on the idea that a woven ge- to move into more complex understanding of what a weave allows for in relation to _141.bmp _142.bmp _143.bmp _144.bmp ometry moves up and over or down and under an adjacent geometry.

COMPOSITIONAL PROCESSES

The Weave. Two Yarns interlaced at right angles to produce a fabric or cloth. Longitudinal threads are called the warp and the lateral threads are called the weft. The method of how the warp and the weft are woven together affects the characteristics of the fabric produced. A loom is used to hold the warp threads in place while the weft threads are weaved through. There are three different types of weave: 1. Plain 2. Twill 3. Satin

GLOBAL TRADE

satin

Rough Sawn Pinewood

Textiles as a commodity in a global market. The European Union clearly dominates with the market with a market value of 80.2 billion US dollars, not far off is China sitting at 65.2 Billion. There is a clear gap distinguishing gap between Europe and China and the rest of the world. Although it is hard to compete with the mega producers of textiles like the European Union and China, New Zealand is starting to tap into the global market and Ice breaker is clearly demonstrating this.
