BRIEF
This project explores the symbiotic relationship between textile and pattern, and how textiles are associated with place, narrativity and spatiality through case studies and hands-on exercises. After which, a textile-based proposition is developed on a selected concept, focusing on how textile patterns are generated to effectively code and convey the intended narrative.

PROPOSITION
To us, textiles can be abstracted as simply as a series of flexible interlocking modules. Drawing inspiration from the designers' shared interest in crafting and our tendency to hoard scrap materials as a result, we propose Brico, a DIY kit that guides users in the creation of adaptable, scalable units from scrap materials.
