  2. 1. 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.
