by Mark Garcia

Architextiles explores the links between architectural and urban design and fashion and textile design. Focussing on fashion and textile design's potential for architectural design, this issue explores the intersections of research and practice within these disciplines.

FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New

Publisher Description

Focusing on the intersections between textiles and architectural design, this title communicates the full range of possibilities for a multidisciplinary design hybrid. It examines the generative concepts, forms, patterns, materials, processes, technologies and practices that are driving this cross-fertilisation in contemporary urban and architectural design. Architextiles represent a transition stage in the reorientation of spatial design towards a more networked, dynamic, interactive, communicative and multifunctional state. The paradigms of fashion and textile design, with their unique, accelerated aesthetics and ability to embody a burgeoning, composite and complex range of properties such as lightness, flow, flexibility, surface, complexity and movement have a natural affinity with architecture's shifts towards a more liquid state. The preoccupation with textiles in architecture challenges traditional perceptions and practices in interior, architectural, urban, textile and fashion design. Interweaving new designs and speculative projects for the future, Architextiles, brings together architects, designers, engineers, technologists, theorists and materials researchers to unravel these new methodologies of fabricating space.     Contributors include: Dominique Perrault (DPA) Lars Spuybroek (NOX and University of Atlanta) Will Alsop (RCA and SMC Alsop) Nigel Coates (RCA and Branson Coates Architecture) Matilda McQuaid (Cooper Hewitt Museum) Ron Arad (RCA and Ron Arad Associates) Tristan Simmonds, Daniel Bosia and Martin Self (Arup Advanced Geometry Unit) David Wakefield (Tensys) Dagmar Richter (UCLA) Peter Testa and Devyn Weiser (Columbia University and Testa Architecture) Tom Verebes, Yosuke Obuchi and Theodore Spyropoulos (AA_DRL) Robert Kronenburg (University of Liverpool) Anne Toomey (RCA) Bradley Quinn Marie O' Mahoney Mark Garcia (RCA)

Notes

This knits the potential of fashion and textile design with growing research in architectural design.

Focusing on the intersections between textile and architectural design, this title communicates the full range of possibilities for a multidisciplinary design hybrid. It 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 paradigms of fashion and textile design, with their unique, accelerated aesthetics and ability to embody a burgeoning, composite and complex range of properties such as lightness, flow, flexibility, surface, complexity and movement have a natural affinity with architecture's shifts towards a more liquid state. The preoccupation with textiles in architecture challenges traditional perceptions and practices in interior, architectural, urban, landscape and fashion design. Interweaving new designs and speculative projects for the future, Architextiles brings together architects, designers, engineers, technologists, theorists and material researchers to unravel these new methodologies of fabricating space. It features interviews with Will Alsop, Dominique Perrault and Lars Spuybroek, as well as contributions from Nigel Coates, Robert Kronenburg, Matilda McQuaid, Dagmar Richter, Peter Testa and Bradley Quinn. It also encompasses new projects and writings from young and emerging designers and theorists.

Author Biography

Mark Garcia is the academic coordinator in the Department of Architecture at the RCA.  He has lectured on the RCA-wide MPhil/PhD Research Methods Course and teaches spatial design theory and design research methodologies.  His current projects focus on the relationships between architectural/urban design and fashion/textile design, and on contemporary spatial design theory and the visualisation of art and design research methodologies, the architectural diagram and sketch, and on play, games and toys in architecture.
