Malleable Matter: Adaptable and Responsive Space

This paper will unravel the effects of the variations in atmospheric conditions on the building envelope as a 'creative potential' for architectural intervention through a research/creation project entitled 'Malleable Matter'. Undertaken as part of a larger investigation of material innovations in architecture, the Malleable Matter project explores the potential of textile-based materials as a hybrid art and architectural medium that can bring design, technology and materials' research together in built spaces.
