Soft Transitions

 

Mediating Relationships Between Textile, Body, and Space

Architecture is often associated with rigid walls, clearly defined boundaries, and permanent materials. Textile, once used as shelter and spatial structure, has gradually been reduced to decoration and interior surface.

This project investigates how textile can be used to create spatial situations through layering, movement, transparency, and bodily proximity. Through writing, spatial experiments and installations, the project explores alternative ways of organising space – not through fixed enclosure, but through soft and temporary relationships between body, material, and space.

Can softness, flexibility, and temporality operate as architectural qualities in themselves?

The entire master's thesis will be available in the Norwegian Research Information Repository. A link will be provided once it is ready.
