Architextiles
Guest-edited by Mark Garcia
This issue of AD explores the intersections between architectural and textile design. Focusing on the possi-
bilities for contemporary architectural and urban design, it examines the generative set of concepts,
forms, patterns, materials, processes, technologies and practices that are driving the proliferation of this
multidisciplinary design hybrid. Architextiles represents a transition stage in the reorientation of spatial
design towards a worked, dynamic, interactive, multifunctional municative state. The
paradigms of fashion and textile design, with their unique, accelerated aesthetics and ability to embody a
burgeoning, composite plex range of properties such as lightness, flow, flexibility, -
plexity and movement, have a natural affinity with architecture's shifts towards a more liquid state. The
upation with textiles in architecture challenges traditional perceptions and practices in interior,
architectural, urban, landscape, and fashion design. Interweaving new designs and speculative projects of
the future, Architextiles brings together architects, designers, engineers, technologists, theorists and mate-
rials researchers to unravel these new methodologies of fabricating space. This title features the work of
Will Alsop, Nigel Coates, Robert Kronenburg, Dominique Perrault, Lars Spuybroek and Ushida Findlay. As
