Architectures of Weaving bridges architecture and textile by exploring fiber architectures from themicro scale of biological systems to the macro scale of textile and built structures. Selected casestudies, essays, and interviews reflect on cultural practices and materials research through the lensof textile thinking. In the quest for sustainable and resilient approaches that meet the challenges ofour time, the book entangles different perspectives into a new transdisciplinary fabric of thought.It presents fascinating approaches heralding a paradigm shift by working with fibrous materiality:structures become flexible and adaptive, they interact with their environment. As a source ofinspiration, the book assembles exceptional works from practitioners, researchers, andtheoreticians in the fields of architecture, art, materials science, cultural history, design,engineering, mathematics, microbiology, and textile technology.
