In the past decade, there has been a shift towards rethinking materials, digital tools and fabrication methods, leading to a post-digital approach. Post-digital implies that the computational tools are interwoven with sociocultural and situated environments, pushing for new cultural and material forms where materiality, craft, ecology, and sociocultural interdependencies have started to become key aspects of the design process. Therefore, it is vital to responsibly create hybrid design approaches where computational tools work in synergy with materiality in developing new cultures. The proposed design-based research sets out to develop and examine forms of architectural craft alongside fabricating prototypes. It uses textiles as a medium to explore how craft techniques can be re-interpreted to inform our current design, material, and ecological methodologies. Textile making is a craft known from prehistoric times. It is a performative action of construction and deconstruction that could be considered as the first architecture. Thus, the first known architects can be identified as weavers with the skills to produce structurally complex enclosures. Also, textiles can be seen as a medium to express stories, myths transferred from one generation to another and can indicate aesthetic values, technological advancements, and sociocultural characteristics. The research will examine how we can re-translate, re- interpret and construct parallels from craft processes and theories to cultivate current digital design methodologies through a dynamic framework.The aim would be to create new methodologies and fabrication methods for architecture. The exploration will use textiles as a theoretical metaphor and construction method, working with hybrid processes of craft and computation to establish new ecologically crafted architectural cultures.

在过去的十年中，人们开始重新思考材料、数字工具和制造方法，从而形成了后数字化方法。后数字意味着计算工具与社会文化和情境环境交织在一起，推动新的文化和物质形式，其中物质性、工艺、生态和社会文化的相互依赖性已开始成为设计过程的关键方面。因此，负责任地创建混合设计方法至关重要，其中计算工具与开发新文化的物质性协同工作。拟议的基于设计的研究旨在开发和检查建筑工艺的形式以及制造原型。它使用纺织品作为媒介，探索如何重新诠释工艺技术，为我们当前的设计、材料和生态方法提供信息。纺织制造是一种自史前时代就已存在的工艺。它是一种建造和解构的表演行为，可以被认为是第一个建筑。因此，第一批已知的建筑师可以被认为是具有制作结构复杂的围护结构技能的编织者。此外，纺织品可以被视为表达故事、神话的媒介，代代相传，可以表明审美价值、技术进步和社会文化特征。该研究将探讨如何重新翻译、重新解释和构建工艺过程和理论的相似之处，以通过动态框架培育当前的数字设计方法。其目的是为建筑创造新的方法和制造方法。该探索将使用纺织品作为理论隐喻和建造方法，结合工艺和计算的混合过程，建立新的生态建筑文化。
