Director Dr. Joseph Choma’s project, Infinity Scarf, on display at the Tallinn Architecture Biennale in Estonia

Currently, Director Joseph Choma’s project, Infinity Scarf, is on display at the Tallinn Architecture Biennale in Estonia. The project began with the question: What can we learn from Estonia and what can Estonia learn from us? That question led to another question: How can knitting (Estonia’s heritage craft) advance wood construction? Choma and his team proposed an inhabitable infinity scarf made of knitted rope composed of wood fibers that are coated with a bio-based epoxy resin. The form of the installation was mathematically generated according to the geometric constraints of a knitting loom.
