Architectural Textiles is a collaborative knowledge sharing project between Erik Juul Architects and CITA (Centre for Information Technology and Design, The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Schools of Architecture, Design and Conservation). The project is realized through the funding of the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Higher Education’s innovation voucher scheme. The aim of the project is to develop new knowledge on the architectural potentials of textiles. By implementing textiles as a construction material in Erik Juul Architects’ current projects, the project investigates the utilization of textiles within architecture. Through application of specialized knowledge from CITA related to digital production processes and textile fabrication techniques, CITA developed a catalogue of concepts, form strategies and material design.
