Four-dimensional textiles are textiles that can change shape or function over time by the
influence of a stimulus, mainly force and heat. In this review, the focus is on 4D textiles made …

There has been a steady growth, over several decades, in the deployment of fabrics in
architectural applications; both in terms of quantity and variety of application. More recently …

This paper presents a design to fabrication framework for the mold-less construction of
double curved composite lattice surfaces based on inherent material behavior. Fiber …

This paper shows a computational approach for knitting net shape preforms with bespoke
3D shapes and patterns. The approach takes partial knitting as the major shaping technique …

Knitted composites are textile composite materials that consist of knitted textile reinforcement
and polymer matrix. Knitted composites exhibit great design flexibility by allowing the …

This paper explores the potential for new hybrid composite material applications in
Architecture by re-thinking the role of fabrication in the process of form-generation. Our work …

Purpose This study aims to develop a four-dimensional (4D) textile composite that self-forms
upon thermal stimulation while eliminating thermomechanical programming steps by using …

This paper presents the experimental design-to-installation process of two textile hybrid
window screens, aimed at mitigating the comfort conditions and preserving the frescoes of …

The hybrid system in textile composites refers to the structural logic defined by Heino Engel,
which describes a system that integrates multiple structural behaviors to achieve an …
