I am proposing the creation of a public, participatory forum where people co-design space through recursive quilt-block negotiation resulting in communal living arrangements and quilted spatial diagrams. Using the format of the quilting bee as a precedent, I am exploring ways that the logic and slow assembly of a quilt can be used in conjunction with artificial intelligence tools in order to facilitate communal authorship in urban planning. In response to current questions around agency and AI use, this project advocates for the use of traditional American craft, an often feminine and invisible labor, in computational design and architectural representation. With support from this grant, I will have access to materials, highly specialized quilting equipment, and the means to host the public forum. If awarded this grant, the quilt becomes not only a spatial diagram, but a methodology for producing collectively authored architectural systems and adaptive spatial proposals.
