Creating Space And Structure Using Textiles
 

Application / Use

Textile architecture is used for necessities such as to provide shelter or shade, technical tools such as barriers or floating devices, for signage such as in banners and truck covers and even for less serious applications like fun toys and  inflatables. However, textile architecture is not a new branch of architecture. -Far from it, as the following definition explains:

    

Origin

"Architecture: from the Latin -teks - To weave (as a net); also to fabricate, a root shared with text, textile, context, subtle ("the finest thread of the weave") and technology. More especially, to build a dwelling, with tools."

(source: American Heritage Dictionary)

 

While its history is deeply rooted in tents, its technological possibilities are continuously evolving, resulting in improved established applications and new inventions. Textile architecture is on the cutting edge of development, often using space age technology and emulating nature.
