When it comes to the field of Smart\u00a0Textiles as interactive materials for space design, it is essential to understand\u00a0the identity of the material through design and also to understand the novel\u00a0expressions being mediated for space. Thus, the purpose of this thesis\u00a0is to develop knowledge by design on Smart Textiles as materials for\u00a0architecture and to do so through design. The thesis formulates a research\u00a0program to frame the design explorations. Thus, <strong>Relational Textiles for\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Space Design <\/strong>is defined as a research program in architecture where the\u00a0focus lies on developing methods to design interactive textile surfaces\u00a0using knitted constructions. The program is illustrated by the design\u00a0projects e.g., <em>Knitted Light<\/em>, <em>Touching Loops<\/em>, <em>Designing with Heat <\/em>and\u00a0<em>Tactile Glow<\/em>. As a result of the research, a new methodological framework\u00a0for interactive textile design is proposed. The framework defines the\u00a0notions of <em>field <\/em>and <em>frame of reference <\/em>for the design. These notions form a\u00a0method to discuss design variables of relational textile expressions. Based\u00a0on the design examples, the emerging expressions are described according\u00a0to the field relations that the interactive textile introduces in space. Thus,\u00a0expressions of spatialization e.g., reduction, amplification, addition and\u00a0disassociation are introduced.<\/p>\n<p><em>keywords<\/em>: interactive textiles, knitted structures, architecture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Delia presents her licentiate thesis Relational Textiles for Space Design 25 April, 1 pm, at Piazza, Patriciahuset, Lindholmen, G\u00f6teborg.
