»Architectures of Weaving« explores weaving and textiles as a constructive and design approach shifting Gottfried Semper’s idea of textile as a spatial element into a contemporary and interdisciplinary discourse. Weaving becomes a means of constructing space while it is a spatial structure in itself. Discussing this relationship, the symposium will cross scales and disciplines—from building to microbiology, from design to mathematics. It opens up a new perspective onto architecture, its materiality and structure by discussing the idea of soft construction and fiber systems from various interdisciplinary fields.
