#WeaveX 1.2: #HypeX #Hyderabad #Design Week 2019 and the 31st World Design Assembly. Photographed by @26ka_ku26 . . . Cane or rattan furniture is a traditional and familiar craft of indigenous furniture design in India. Passed down from generation to generation, it uses locally-sourced, biodegradable material, and is a relic of rich cultural significance that we are adapting to addresses pressing issues of environmental concern and sustainability using traditional technology that has evolved and been perfected over decades. The skills and knowhow of the cane craft has been concentrated to furniture design, art, craft and household accessories fabricated and sold by small-scale industries. With an aim to explore the structural and geometric capabilities of this material, its methods and techniques beyond the traditional, DesignAware and ard ارض have come together to collaborate on a series of urban installations made using local material, which creates a dialog between parametric design and the vernacular, in a strong attempt to promote a contemporary approach to the craft of cane design, and to realize its significance in a world of depleting resources. . . . WeaveX is a series of urban interventions proposed for installation in urban precincts. HypeX is a versatile installation derived from a hyperbolic paraboloid. The first HypeX was designed in #Arish or date palm frond midribs for #Dubai Design Week 2018 and placed at Dubai Design District. HypeX 1.2 designed in cane for Hyderabad Design Week is located at Khairatabad X Roads in Hyderabad. . . . @hyderabaddesignweek @indiadesignforum @worlddesignorg @ard_dubai @cpingenieria @buildaware
