Enveloping Buildings in Textiles

Authors

Abstract

There are myriad elements that determine how well a building functions. One of the most important and complex is the design and composition of its envelope. Similar to the human skin, the building envelope is the boundary between interior and exterior, and it has multiple functions: protecting the indoor environment, facilitating climate control and reducing the building’s energy consumption.
