Architextiles explores the links between architectural and urban design and fashion and textile design. Focusing on fashion and textile design's potential for architectural design, this issue explores the intersections of research and practice within these disciplines. The articles from architects, fashion and textile designers, academics and their students examine the complex dimensions of this growing field from 8 key perspectives: theory, aesthetics, research, materials, functions, technology, process (including digital design and manufacturing) and the future. This issue fills this gap in the literature by publishing for the first time many recent and significant projects. In addition, most of these works treat the topic from architectural engineering, technological or materials science perspectives. This issue, by taking a more multi-disciplinary and design and aesthetics-oriented view of the topic aims to fill this particular gap in the literature.
