This research is taking advantage of the technological changes taking place in the textile and architectural industry and opens new perspectives for a transdisciplinary research. The researchers aim to further develop the project by developing prototypes and foster collaborations with the industry and research institutions from different disciplines such as material science, chemistry, biology and mechanical engineering, creating new materialities for wearables as well as interactive built environments.

The Lewis Dynamic Model was adapted from Kolb’s Experiential Learning Model by Naowarat Lewis.

The essentials of dynamic learning within the model are those actions constituting repetition and reinforcement which are independent of tutor influence and wholly driven by each individual learner.

Re[in]spired textile portrays their research on skin prosthetics, able to respire, providing thermal comfort conditions to users responding to stimuli received from the environment. In this way textiles transcend their known functions to embellish and protect, and create new forms of bodily habitation.

Additive manufacturing is suggested as a potential fabrication method, as it can create complex objects directly from the 3D model by stratifying material layer upon layer, and prototypes can be highly customized. In particular dual-material 3d printing technology, that enables the fabrication of a flexible structure (e.g. Ninjaflex, Filaflex) with smart material (e.g. carbon fiber) embedded in selected components (Figure 3), in order to achieve the desired operation

Abstract.
The search for the origin of today’s commercial sans serif typography has become something of a “holy grail” for type historians. The earliest known example of a deliberately geometrical “serifless” letterform was confirmed back in the late 1990s, on a plan-drawing title block for a new parliamentary building. It was produced whilst on the grand tour by the architect John Soane....

San serif Bishop Marks from 1673
Practice-based historical research is utilized within the production of an alphabet of letterforms which explore the context for sans serif Bishop Marks from 1673. The limited published history and original primary examples were studied within the production of an experimental digital typeface of the date-stamp glyphs required within a functional computer font. The letterform modelling and characteristics represent a late...
