In this paper different qualities of architectural textile techniques and tectonics are explored. By using a reframing strategy micro techniques and tectonics as used in fashion and textile design are evolved into an architectural scale. To reveal the quality of this reframing procedure a case scenario has been executed. By reframing patchwork techniques into a formactive shell geometry, a design is made. To reflect upon the case scenario a structural analysis by using Abaqus software has been performed.
