Description

Explore the connection between physical spaces and material textures with On Surface and Place. Published by Routledge as part of the Ashgate Studies in Architecture, this book offers a poetic look at how surfaces shape our understanding of environment and location. Using weaving as a central metaphor, the text expands on Gottfried Semper's ideas regarding the relationship between architecture and textiles. The narrative moves between different mediums, looking at how a swatch of Harris Tweed compares to a curtain wall facade. By comparing the fabric of a city to the weave of cloth, the book presents a unique way to look at urban design and material theory. This work is ideal for students, architects, and theorists interested in how photography, textiles, and built environments connect. It provides a fresh perspective on how we experience the world through the surfaces that surround us.
