2. 1. Relational textiles : surface expressions in space design

   Author : Delia Dumitrescu; Högskolan i Borås; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Smart textiles; Textiles and Fashion General ; Textil och mode generell ;

   Abstract : The emergence of the Smart Textiles field opens possibilities for designers to combine traditional surface fabrication techniques with advanced technology in the design process. The purpose of this work is to develop knowledge on interactive knitted textiles as materials for architecture and to do so through practice-based design research. READ MORE

4. 2. Exploring textiles as materials for interaction design

   Author : Anna Persson; Högskolan i Borås; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; interaction; design; textiles; materials; Textiles and fashion; Textiles and Fashion General ; Textil och mode generell ;

   Abstract : As computational technology and new materials enter the world of textiles, our view on textile materials is challenged. Textile interaction design suggests a new design space in which the fields of textile design and interaction design are merged. READ MORE

5. 3. Textile architecture informed by wind

   Author : Erica Hörteborn; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Textiles; Research by design; Textile architecture; Kinetic architecture; Lightweight structures; Wind; Geometric expression; Knitted textiles;

   Abstract : Textiles in architecture is a field of great potential, which are worth to explore further. This thesis aims to show that the flexibility of the textile material could be better included in the architectural design, allowing it to adapt to forces, such as the wind, and viewing motion as a positive design feature.

6. 4. Knitted architecture and wind: Designing loosely fitted architectural textiles for interaction with wind

   Author : Erica Hörteborn; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Textile architecture; Knitted textiles; Wind performance; Wind; Research by design; Kinetic architecture; Geometric expression; Wind simulation; Architectural design;

   Abstract : Utilising the textile’s ability to adapt to external forces such as the wind could lead to the creation of new design expressions and functional features within architecture. Prompted by architectural potentials of textiles deliberately designed to move and flex, this thesis aims to explore and demonstrate how such knitted textiles could contribute to enriched aesthetic expression and improved performance of architectural elements placed in windy environments.

7. 5. The use of Textiles in an Acoustic Context

   Author : Karl Tillberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; porous absorbers; knitted fabric; woven fabric; helmholtz absorbers; room acoustics; nonwoven material; classroom; acoustic textiles; resonance absorbers; panel absorbers;

   Abstract : Working with textiles in an acoustic context gives enormous possibilities to combine the acoustic function of materials with the visual function (aesthetics). Depending on the material choice and the production techniques, textiles may for instance be flexible, stiff, airtight, have high density or high porosity. READ MORE
