Textile Tango - Shaping soft, adaptive spaces through human interaction
This thesis explores the evolving interaction between humans and architectural spaces through dynamic textile-based spatial adaptation. Using a cyber-physical system, modular fabrics actuated by motorised pulleys respond to human input, creating a continuous dialogue between a human and its environment. Unlike static, pre-designed spaces, the project enables real-time transformation, where the textile system gradually builds a deeper understanding of the human's spatial needs and proposes new configurations accordingly. Ultimately, this research highlights the potential of creating conversational spaces that engage humans on a deeper level, making the act of shaping one’s environment a more intuitive and interactive experience.
