Structural Timber Fabric: Applying Textile Principles on Building Scale

Yves Weinand, Markus Hudert

Textiles are interesting from both a structural and an architectural point of view. Their patterns and textures, created by the interworking of yarn elements, are not only highly appealing on an aesthetical level, they also possess load bearing qualities. ...
