Rhythmic Gatherer is a mobile sensing, part of an ongoing design-research project exploring how architecture might operate as a practice of listening rather than control. Acting as a situated ecological instrument, the device gathers environmental rhythms through sensing temperature, humidity, CO₂, vibration, and sound while engaging directly with the material and atmospheric conditions of a site. These readings inform the production of site-specific bio-yarns and textile patterns, translating environmental rhythms into tactile form.

Part machine, part companion, Rhythmic Gatherer explores sensing as relational, embodied, and situated. Rather than treating landscapes as passive data fields, the work approaches places as active participants in meaning-making, where stories, rhythms, and ecological processes become interwoven. Through textile making, environmental sensing, and myth-informed methodologies, the work explores how materials can hold ecological memory and cultivate attentiveness to the more-than-human world.
