This design below draws upon fusionwear sv images submitted of Eichler architecture by Kathleen Peters, San Jose City Hall and Spanish tile roofs...all part of our visual vocabulary here in Silicon Valley. The design is also meant to riff off of sari textile design and colors. Anu Guda submitted many amazing saris for me to document and in the process got me thinking about weaving techniques and color schemes. Colors were pulled from a color palette from fusionwear sv image submissions and from Anu's textiles.
I pulled the color palette from these image submissions by Kathleen Peters.
