FABRIC[ated] examines fabric as a catalyst for innovation, reflection, change and transformation in architecture.
This book explores the ways in which research and development of fabric can, and historically has, influenced and revolutionized architecture, teaching and design. Responsive, flexible, impermanent, fluid and adaptivefabric interacts with, and influences architecture, offering innovative solutions and increased material responsibility. Foundation and theory chapters establish clear precedent and futures for fabrics position in architectural discourse. The case study section examines 14 international projects through three different threads: Veiling, Compression and Tension. Case studies include a diverse range of projects from the HiLo unit at Nest and CASTs fabric formed concrete projects to a discussion of the impact of fabric on SO-IL and Kennedy Violich Architects professional work, demonstrating new and fresh methods for addressing sustainability and social justice through the use of fabric in architecture. Through the work of the many authors of this book, we see fabric as drape, skin, veil, mold, concept and inspiration. Fabric, in its broadest definition, is an important and innovative material in the development of socially conscious architecture.
Offering readers pedagogical and practical models for international projects highlighting fabrics use in architecture, this book will appeal to the novice and the expert, architecture students and practitioners alike.
