Manifesto

As we are all designers, we all have contrasting views and perceptions of what makes a good or bad design. One element which links us all together are the stages of the design process through which exploring possibilities and constraints focuses our critical thinking and research towards a common objective.

Through this project we are forming an interactive design that will engage art, nature, people and place on a day-to-day basis. Our project will illustrate how different forms of a membrane structure, grid shells, origami and biology are composed together in a symbiotic relationship to form a sustainable concept.

Our plan / convention will address the physical and spatial parameters of our design with a thorough understanding of its role in our environment and its potential to function as a living space. The site we have chosen to implement our design is the spiritual center, which has a strong focus on nature and raw materials. Our plan / convention will draw elements from these and inform how our concept will develop.

Crochet: Basic Stitches


Here is a basic stitch guide that visually explains the structural formulation of each different crochet stitch.  Please do not try to learn the stitches from these diagrams alone.  Here there is only one visual per stitch which is understandable if you already know some crochet or a related textile technique.  I have instructions with multiple images showing each step in the stitch process and what you need to do to complete it.  Much better if you are a learner!
