Exhibition
Research + Space work = Near Within
Near Within - (in) formed by Wind examines our relationship to the physical environment. The body and the material. The logic and the tactile. The room and the movement. Through ongoing research work on architecture, form and new materials, new ideas are presented about how we relate to our built environment.
Erica Hörteborn has a double degree: Master of Architecture and a MSc in Architectural Engineering. Since fall 2016 she is a PhD student and part of the Architecture and Engineering Research Group. Her research explores textile form, material, and production methods, as well as mathematical sketching, simulations and physical prototypes, with a focus on wind and kinetic architecture. “How can we, through the use of textiles, create architecture that use and benefit from the wind?”
