EXTREME TEXTILES:
DESIGNING FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE
Edited by Matilda McQuaid
"Lighter: A Transformed Architecture" by Philip Beesley and Sean Hanna
"A new generation of giant-scale textiles is at the core of a revolution in architecture. Soft "textile" foundations are fundamentally changing the way we think about architecture. Textile-based building concepts range from flexible skeletons and meshwork skins to buildings that move and respond to their occupants. These structures replace traditional views of solid, gravity-bound building with an interwoven, floating new world. "
