Radiant Textiles: A framework for designing with electromagnetic phenomena
Erin Lewis Licentiate Thesis: http://hb.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:1586359/FULLTEXT01.pdf Abstract [en] The design of smart, interactive, computational, and electronic textiles involves working with unknown variables that expand the tangible dimensions of textiles. Non-visual concepts such as electromagnetic fields, electrical current, computational code, and the temporal attributes of materials that exhibit dynamic qualities require that textile designers be able to […]

The Silent Context – Detachment as Leitwort for Artistic Development
Paper by Lars Hallnäs, The Swedish School of Textiles, University of Borås, available at Reserach Outlet. Abstract Post modernism as a philosophical, ideological foundation of artistic practice lives by contextualizing, relativizing; the ubiquitous context, the wandering eye, this is what it is, but on the other hand also that… What is the context? We must be […]
Around Over Between Up…: Spatial properties as variables in textile design_PhD thesis
Tonje Kristensen Johnstone, The Swedish School of Textiles Abstract With a starting point in defining space through materials, colours, planes, and surfaces, the aim of the work presented in this thesis was to explore and introduce spatial concepts as design variables in textile design. Another aim was to explore surface patterns in terms of their […]

Wearing Sound : The Foundations of Sonic Design_PhD thesis
Vidmina Stasiulyte, phd student ArcintexETN(www.arcintexetn.eu) and The Swedish School of Textiles University of Borås Abstract Fashion is primarily a visual ontology consisting of definitions, theory and methods that are based on visual language. This research revises fashion by approaching it from a different—sonic—perspective wherein sound is considered not as a negative aspect but as a […]
On the textility of smell in spatial design_PhD thesis
Jyoti Kapur, PhD student ArcintexETN(www.arcintexetn.eu) and The Swedish School of Textiles, University of Borås Abstract The ocular-centric approach predominant in the field of design, particularly textile and spatial design, focuses on visual aesthetics and visually mediated interactions. Whereas the non-visual materialities of a space, such as smells, are ignored in the design process, meaning that […]

Changeability as a quality in textile design
Riikka Talman Licentiate Thesis Abstract The tendency to wear out and change is inherent in most materials, but – aside from a few exceptions – has been considered to be undesirable by both the industry and consumers. The work presented in this licentiate thesis suggests that, due to change in some form being an inherent […]
On Textile Farming: Seeds as Material for Textile Design_Svenja Keune
Presently, designing with living systems such as insects, fungi and bacteria has become an area of extended interest, proposing collaborative processes of designing and manufacturing – as a solution for symbiotic ways of living. On the scale of the interior, modern systems for interior gardening, combining both functional, e.g., food supply, purifying the […]
On researching and teaching in textile design
Artistic research in design is relatively new compared to experimental research in the natural sciences but it has matured a great deal over the last decade. Its extensive development has brought new challenges to professional practice, and also raised questions regarding how knowledge should be imparted in academia. By examining the field of textile design, […]

Thermochromic workshop at Vilnius Art Academy, 9-11th of October, 2017
As a part of her PhD research, Marjan has created and proposed a pedagogical tool for teaching the behaviour of thermochromic inks to students of textile design. The printed colour swatches demonstrated the colour transitions of thermochromic inks at different temperatures. The structured tasks created opportunities for students to learn the principles of colour transition by actually experiencing them, and the […]
