Textile Gestures: Mapping Tactile Practices with Architectural Yarns

with Maja Avnat

Hands-on workshop within Bauhaus Study Rooms 2023 “Design­Acts: Gestures of Performative Research”, Hochschule Anhalt / Bauhaus Dessau

The Architectural Yarns research group at »Matters of Activity. Image Space Material« is hosting a hands-on workshop about tactile knowledge in performative research. We ask: How do sensory and mechanical properties of a material interrelate and shift when processed manually? Which conscious and unconscious actions transform bulky matter into material?

Designlab  #13: Material legacies
FIBROUS EXCHANGE


Initiated by the »Architectural Yarns« Research Group at the Cluster of Excellence »Matters of Activity. Image Space Material«, the Workshop FIBROUS EXCHANGE revisits the Work Exotica III by Ritzi Jacobi and takes inspiration for a transdisciplinary exchange between textile design, materials science and architecture.

Talk and Workshop at Bauwende Festival 2022

On Friday, May 27, 2022, 2 p.m., MoA members Maxie Schneider, Jojo Shone and Lorenzo Guiducci will offer a workshop on Structural Paper as part of this year's Bauwendefestival in Berlin.

The »Structural Paper« workshop playfully explores the potential of paper as a building material for constructing interwoven structures. By simply interleaving sheets of paper, we can construct connections that hold only through friction.
