Questioning
● the role smart textiles can play in a domestic space.
● How they can be implemented in an architectural context to encourage a more sustainable lifestyle?
PhD Tectonic Textiles – Aims of the project
Aurélie Mossé │PhD Fellow │CITA │ Royal Academy of Fines Arts │ Copenhagen │http://www.aureliemosse.com
1 - Develop tangible scenarios for responsive textile architecture→ investigating energy-harvesting and self-actuated surface concepts
2 - Explore the potential of light responsive materials/technologies to challenge the conventional notion of home
3 – Testing the hypothesis through the production of cases studies / probes
4 – Assess the sustainable performance of the probes
5- Proposing innovative solutions about the embedment of energy-harvesting & self-actuating textiles in a domestic context/at architectural scale
PhD Tectonic Textiles – Objectives : sustainable living architecture

Conceptual Probe – paper simulation 1Scenario building
Origin of the project – Constellation Wallpaper, an energy-storage wallpaper
Context – Home : when textiles meet architecture

“the beginning of building coincides with the beginning of textiles […] It is certain that a kind of crude weaving began with the pen, as a means of dividing the “home”, the inner life from the outer life, as a formal construct of the spatial idea. It preceded the simple wall from stone or another material”

Context – Home: under-exploited territory for smart textiles

Context – Smart & responsive : the future of the home?
“ But generally designers have not exploited the aesthetic & poetic dimensions of new materials with the same energy that engineers have exploited their functional possibilities[…] Most work in this area does not encourage poetic and cultural possibilities to converge
with practical and technical ones. ”
Anthony Dunne –Hertzian Tales
Context – Smart & responsive home: the future of the home?
Context – Energy-harvesting materials, towards a more sustainable home?
From Nano-architecture.net - Cochran & Wheeler Howes, Grow – Kennedy & Violin, Soft house
Hypothesis so far ...
Energy-harvesting & self-actuated materials can become the effective technologies that will encourage a more sustainable home
Material Matter – self-actuated materials
self-actuated materials Property change materials that operate a transformation in their molecular structure under the effect of an energy input, resulting in a change of behaviour (change of color, shape, elasticity etc)

Energy-harvesting materials Materials with the ability to capture and store energy, among others solar power, thermal energy, wind energy, kinetic energy.
“design as a reflective action [Schoen 83] Rather than thinking problem solving as a process of solving predefined problems with a predefined knowledge set, design as a reflective practice is articulated as a dual mode of reflecting on action through action. As such the methods [will] includes an inherent ability to critically assess and creatively adjust the solution space of the research problem.”
