Green Weaving Club House
Nilakshi Roy

The building I chose to use as inspiration andguidance is Green Weaving Club House in Korea by Hyunjoon Yoo Architects.

The building was cut into four segmants- where in between each segment there is a transition into the next and within that transition one gets to look around and see the green spaces. The gap in-between ach section allows the green space to flow through allowing the weaving tectonics to be visible.

This club house was intended to look as if the land was interwoven like bamboo strips interwoven to make bamboo ware. The rooms were designed to look as if they are being inserted in between the fabric made of warp threads and fillings. The walls were covered with Pachysandra terminals and ivy to express the feeling of a lifted land. The ivy covered walls also become an environment-friendly factor that raises energy efficiency of the building

The journey through the building is a straight line: the entrance (where people leave their golf bags) to the lobby, locker, and finally spa room where privacy required. `Through the building is a straight line: entrance (where people leave their golf bags) to the lobby, locker, and finally spa room where privacy required.

Two basic terms are important if someone has the intension of weaving: Warp and Weft. Warp is a set of parallel bamboo stripes providing the foundation on which plane weaving is done. They are positioned lengthwise on the work bench or work area. Wefts are the bamboo stripes that are inserted widthwise under and over the warp in order to make a design. In the Green weaving Club House, it just so happens that the straight journey which includes the people travelling through are the Warp, and the weaving landscape acts as the Wefts.
