‘Robotic Membranes’ is an exhibition of two collaborations between architect & Mette Ramsgard Thomsen, knitter Toni Hicks and designer Simon Løvind. The projects explore the idea of a behaving & architecture merging architecture, textiles and robotics. Suggesting a space & formed through its own internal behaviours, or strange metabolisms, Robotic Membranes investigates the techtonic possibilities,both formal and technological, of a textile architecture shaped by its own inherent movement patterns.Strange metabolisms is an exploration of knit structure in architecture developed in collaboration between Mette Ramsgard Thomsen and Toni Hicks, Constructed Textiles, University of Brighton. Vivisection, by Mette Ramsgard Thomsen and Simon Løvind, Danmarks Design School is the making of a live section, a sensing skin that acts and reacts on its inhabitation.
