The concept of symbiosis has arisen in society as a response to growing economic pressure. Businesses need to collaborate to ensure growth during a tough economic climate.
This project focused on the growing trend of people using unused gaps and spaces in a city environment. Research found that current city spaces are no longer a sustainable model for future development based on population growth.
Cheaper flexible space can be constructed using textiles. Knitted textile fabric uses minimum materials. Use of hard structural materials such as woods and metals can be kept to a minimum. This is a potential sustainable solution to changing community needs.
Exploring the qualities of knit indicated potential structural advantages in comparison to other textiles, facilitating, breathability, increased light permeability, flexible sections and technology housing.
The knitted architecture can be simply assembled and disassembled. They are modular in design, and can be transported in flat packs.
