Textile structures, their further processing and materiality can be regarded in an architectural and geometrical context. Textile techniques such as braiding and weaving own a specific geometrical potential and can be transformed into a design strategy for space. Students have been working solely with linear wooden elements, using different sizes of rattan cane. First of all a certain textile techniques had to be explored and instrumentalised, using smallscale models, before switching to the scale of the human body. The results are spatial structures that adapt or grow out of the body - prosthetic devices that equip the body with new functionalities.
