I believe there's unexplored potential with working more actively with textiles in architecture. 

With this project I will propose and design a series of spatial textile interventions for three selected areas within the University Library in Fiolstræde. 

Through explorations of the notions of the fixed and the movable, distance and proximity, the project explore potential relations between textiles and architecture.

The aim of the interventions is to enhance both identity and wayfinding supporting the visitor's ability to navigate the building and the new programme.

In the three interventions, the textile becomes a transformative element, opening new opportunities within the architecture, playing with our idea of fixed and movable in a place that is in transition from library to a multipurpose platform, whose purpose if to convey and make accessible the ground of the university. This transition is supported by these textile interventions, engaging visitors to move and behave in different ways, without compromising the original structure, but honoring the essence of the historic library while contributing to a new identity.

Through a deep analysis of the building the project explores two layers, how to attach oneself to a listed building and how to deal with textiles in the world of architecture
