It examines the generative concepts, forms, patterns, materials, processes, technologies and practices that are driving this cross-fertilisation in contemporary urban and architectural design. \u003ci\u003eArchitextiles\u003c\/i\u003e represent a transition stage in the reorientation of spatial design towards a more networked, dynamic, interactive, communicative and multifunctional state. The paradigms of fashion and textile design, with their unique, accelerated aesthetics and ability to embody a burgeoning, composite and complex range of properties such as lightness, flow, flexibility, surface, complexity and movement have a natural affinity with architecture's shifts towards a more liquid state. The preoccupation with textiles in architecture challenges traditional perceptions and practices in interior, architectural, urban, textile and fashion design. Interweaving new designs and speculative projects for the future, \u003ci\u003eArchitextiles\u003c\/i\u003e, brings together architects, designers, engineers, technologists, theorists and materials researchers to unravel these new methodologies of fabricating space.      \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors\u003c\/b\u003e include:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDominique Perrault (DPA)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLars Spuybroek (NOX and University of Atlanta)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWill Alsop (RCA and SMC Alsop)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNigel Coates (RCA and Branson Coates Architecture)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMatilda McQuaid (Cooper Hewitt Museum)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRon Arad (RCA and Ron Arad Associates)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTristan Simmonds, Daniel Bosia and Martin Self (Arup Advanced Geometry Unit)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDavid Wakefield (Tensys)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDagmar Richter (UCLA)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePeter Testa and Devyn Weiser (Columbia University and Testa Architecture)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTom Verebes, Yosuke Obuchi and Theodore Spyropoulos (AA_DRL)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRobert Kronenburg (University of Liverpool)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnne Toomey (RCA)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBradley Quinn\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMarie O' Mahoney\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMark Garcia (RCA)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eMark Garcia\u003c\/b\u003e is the academic coordinator in the Department of Architecture at the RCA.  He has lectured on the RCA-wide MPhil\/PhD Research Methods Course and teaches spatial design theory and design research methodologies.  His current projects focus on the relationships between architectural\/urban design and fashion\/textile design, and on contemporary spatial design theory and the visualisation of art and design research methodologies, the architectural diagram and sketch, and on play, games and toys in architecture.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 January 2007\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAcademy Press\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780470026342\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e136\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44315757314188,"sku":"9780470026342","price":47.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780470026342_620374ba-89b9-407e-a658-8c274ca66d71.jpg?v=1781091158","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780470026342","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
