Abstract
The paper proposes lacemaking as a strategy to be incorporated in architectural thinking and design. It looks at the three different modes of repetition that it encapsulates (patterning, recurrence, overlaying), relating them to other visual art practices – film, fashion and fine art specially. By integrating repetition and delicacy in its own mode of writing, Lacescapes aims not only to claim for but also to enact a poetics of spatial lacemaking – one that would potentially originate soft and delicate architectural constructs.
