Design Your Carpet with Pixels – Quito Fragmented
Workshop
On March 15, 2025, at the MUNA (National Museum of Ecuador), the workshop "Design Your Carpet with Pixels" took place, a free public event in collaboration with Arquiguaguas, a project dedicated to teaching architecture to children. Inspired by the work Quito Fragmented, the workshop allowed attendees to meet the carpet makers from Guano and the designers behind the project, while learning about the design and weaving process of carpets.
Participants transformed images of Ecuadorian flowers into pixelated patterns on grids designed for the activity, thereby exploring abstraction and color. In addition, the carpet makers from Guano guided the attendees in using the loom, teaching their iconic round wool knot and passing on their invaluable artisanal knowledge.
