The Weaving the Storm exhibition showcases first-year architecture students’ exploration of extreme weather systems through drawing and basket-weaving, translating atmospheric forces into spatial forms. In Spring 2024, these students studied specific storms—including tornadoes and blizzards—and captured their evolving energy through movement-based representations. The resulting woven structures reflect flexibility, transformation, and a new approach to architectural space shaped by natural forces.

The faculty team would like to recognize support from Gibbs College dean Hans E. Butzer and the late dean of the College of Atmospheric and Geographic Sciences, Berrien Moore III, for making this event come to life. They would also like to thank Prof. Mark Shafer, as well as weavers/teachers Marcia Balleweg, Sue Fish, Mary Lee, Nancy Rimassa and Maggie Rimassa for their constant support. The exhibition is made possible with financial support from the Bruce Goff Chair of Creative Architecture.
