Textile Tectonics: An Interview with Lars Spueybroek
‘Architectural design is not about having ideas, but about having techniques, techniques that operate on a material level. It's about making matter think and live by itself.’ Here Lars Spuybroek of NOX talks to Maria Ludovica Tramontin about his engagement with the work of Gottfried Semper and Frei Otto and how it has led him to his own brand of textile tectonics or ‘soft constructivism’, in which textiles are transformed into the tectonic through conventional textile techniques ‐ weaving, bundling, interlacing, braiding, knitting or knotting ‐ effectively building structure through softness and flexibility.
