Edgewood Bathhouse went through a distinctive design process that involves a traditional craft method, weaving. Iterative studies and experiments on weaving were done throughout the project to complete a formula that would answer the main design problem: how can an architecture be woven? By expressing the movements of yarns being woven together in a platform called envelope, and modulating such envelops together to construct an architectural structure that eventually forms an inhabitalbe space, the bathhouse is woven. Composed of thousands of bricks that represent pixels of a woven fabric, the bathhouse delineates a tectonic process where a thread of fabric is generated, flowing through a giant loom. The hefty movement of the design draws a correlation with a theme of a bathhouse where water continuously flows, cleansing the bodies.
