External Force : exploring changeable expressions in woven structures when activated by wind and lightAndersson Wallbom, Selma January 2022 (has links)
This work places itself in the field of textile design, weaving and exploring the design of changeable expressions in textiles. The intention of this work is to design three textiles that interact with the environment in outdoor spaces to achieve changeable expressions. Weaving is chosen as a technique because of the possibility to achieve different qualities in the same piece of fabric. The material, structure and density in the weave determine the interaction between the textile and the external factors, such as wind and light. The parameters make the various parts of the textile react in different ways, for example, the looser the threads are attached in the weave, the more they move in the wind. The interaction between the surroundings and the material causes the textile to change expression in terms of color, pattern, and transparency. The textiles provide an interactive element to an outside space, where it can be used as either a decorative piece of with a functional purpose as room dividers. The project opens up to utilize the textile responsiveness to external forces in design, to create dynamic textiles which change in appearence.
