Appreciation towards Andrea von Chrismar for providing the following description:

WICKER MEMBRANES

The wicker weaving technique is associated with the traditional manufacturing of small utilitarian objects. This technique installed in Chile since colonial times, stands out for its potential to build complex and resistant shapes given by the flexibility of the fiber and rigidity provided by the weaving. Based on these properties, this project explores the manufacturing of the weave, this time in relation to the field of architecture. This research explores the potential of a natural raw material and an ancient technique of patrimonial nature, regarding new usage options.

The wicker woven surfaces change their behaviour in an opposite way from design to architecture. While in the scale of objects the result of the weaving is rigid and therefore resistant to compressive strength (thrust), on the scale of architecture, these surfaces tend towards flexibility, which makes it especially resistant to tensile strength (stretching). The opposition of material behaviour between the two scales creates differences in the design and construction process of the weaves; however the design criteria remain the same.

The thickness of the wicker fiber, the geometry that arranges the weave, the way that it is structured and the handmade technique used to build them, are the variables that determine the properties of this weave and its possibilities. These variables give the design tools for the optimal performance of the material according to use and scale.

The ability for building spaces that the weave reaches in the scale of architecture is the same that it has in objects, a proposal for maximum efficiency and perfect balance between form, strength and spatial quality.

智利从殖民时期起非常流行用柳条编织技术做成小型实用商品。复杂编织下的柳条兼具刚性和灵活性。这个建筑学硕士论文背景下的项目将其运用到建筑领域，期望探讨这些古材料与古技艺的潜力。

项目用了5天时间完成，占地27平方米，每个单元重50公斤。在建筑尺度下，柳条编织的表面具有刚性又有灵活的抗压性和耐拉伸性。虽然施工与设计具有一定的差异，但是大体上满足设计标准。采用几何结构化的方式用手工编织工艺编制出片状构件，因其编织的性质和可变性具备非常良好的变量，能达到该材料与该规模下的最佳状态。这是一个在设计与建造效率，质量与空间效果之间达到完美平衡的毕设论文项目。
