For SHELTER WE.DO have made a loosely structured shelter that looks and feels like it has been inspired by the organic. Having built a machine that weaves fabric threads together to create lengths of rope that hang from a circular foundation on the ceiling the final shape of which is dictated by gravity. Tent TENT visitors can interact with and even swing on the mass of textile vines.
