Tejer, tramar, construir by Benedetta Tagliabue
New Revista de Occidente publication features an essay by Benedetta Tagliabue, exploring the process of architectural design as a weaving of
a manual, social act.
Drawing on the EMBT studio practice and the creative legacy of Enric Miralles, Benedetta Tagliabue argues that architecture begins with the simplest gesture of the hand-folding, braiding, cutting-and that models, collages, and tactile mock-ups are not mere metaphors but instrumental models of thinking-
the means of “the learning that emerges from making”.
The piece invites readers to consider how tradition meets innovation and reflects on the greater social implications of drawing connections with
the artisanal knowledge. In the words of Benedetta Tagliabue: “Designing
by weaving means intervening in the social fabric. It is a symbolic and real gesture: uniting people, context, histories, landscapes.”
