THE THREAD
Quilt, except for the utilitarian value, is also an instrument of women’s socialization as a collaborative effort. “All men are created equal” are declared in this convention at Wesleyan Methodist Chapel in Seneca Falls, which is right across the site.
The Thread - the Museum of the American Quilt Should be a comprehensive landmark in Seneca Falls, presenting an analogy between a quilt and architecture that carefully determined and resulting in extraordinary beauty.
The Thread expects to respond to the site and surrounding Historical buildings by creating continuous circulation around the central atrium to gain rhythmical experience of view
The female gesture of it, floating, light, and fluent. The continuous aluminum shades and glazing transparent public space, cooperating with the river view and park.
It is a mark of women’s collaboration in great artwork, the pride of female contribution.
