sketches of richter weaving device producing the vessels along the river.


using the process of silk making considered "worm," "man" and "the weave" and based the design of these components to produce the vessel; which in this case is the weave itself.
important parts of this system are the worm device, richter weaving device and the weave.
worm device is fed branches of tree form the enviroment and it uses the energy of water, to operate.resin & pulp from the branches of coniferous trees and water are the ingredient to make jute like threads which later will be used by the richter weaving device to weave the vessel.

parametre sensing device


these are some process drawings i started to make of this device in water which informed the construction system about the river speed, turbulance and direction.


i started to explore possibilities of spacially mapping the river(using water speed, direction and turbulance as three parametres for contruction) over the year to produce a vessel which might help the villagers save their lives in case of landslides. the river remains frozen form november to january. and landlides are triggered by high precipetaion during the months of august september and october. the slot of six months in between can be used to produce the vessel, this vessel should be ready to use in august.
the spatial map/ vessel will be in form of a weave;
"weaving produces strength by combining two weak systems in a reciprocal pattern."

i started to design devices which sense the turbulance, direction an speed of water, in order to inform the production of the vessel.
