Phd in Tectonic Textiles

Presentation

Aurélie Mossé, former MA Textile Futures Graduate, has started a Phd in Tectonic Textiles, position supported by CITA, Centre for IT and Architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture, Copenhagen, and the Textiles Futures Research Group, Central Saint Martins, College of Art and Design, London.

Research Area

Exploring the boundaries between Textiles and Architecture, the project is the beginning of an investigation about how the use and design of intelligent textiles can be conceptualized, probed and implemented in an architectural context. By exploring tangible scenarios for responsive domestic architecture, the project will aim at mapping out new possibilities for textiles to take a leading role in the redefinition of our environment, especially looking at how smart textiles can embed innovative technologies in our interiors while preventing from dematerialization and dehumanization.

Specific interests

Photovoltaic textiles, responsive materials, shape memory polymers, interactive design ...
