Architextiles is focusing on the intersections between textile and architectural design. It communicates the full range of possibilities for a multidisciplinary design hybrid. The book examines the generative set of concepts, forms, patterns, materials, processes, technologies and practices that are driving this cross-fertilisation in contemporary urban and architectural design. Architextiles represents a transition stage in the reorientation of spatial design towards a more networked, dynamic, interactive, multifunctional and communicative state.
The preoccupation with textiles in architecture challenges traditional perceptions and practices in interior, architectural, urban, landscape and fashion design.
