With the outlook on architecture which becomes increasingly linked to fabrication for bespoke and mass customized materials, the students from CITAstudio explored the structural, spatial and kinetic potentials of textile spaces through digital-material workflows, informed by intuitive and craft-based hand-on design thinking.
This exhibition provides an overview of prototypes which range from full scale installations showcasing textile spaces for inhabitation, micro scale material designs exploring the potentials of CNC-knitting techniques and pattern-making, and shape changing kinetic structures prototyped at various-scales.
In a series of workshops taking place over the past weeks, the focus revolved around the design performance parameter light, with a special emphasis on the filtration, the emittance and the guidance of light through layering, reinforcement and perforation of textiles.
