The Possible Use of Clothing Materials in Architecture and Building Materials

Abstract: This is a 4 page paper discussing the use of clothing materials in architecture. Traditional clothing materials such as hemp cloth or cotton mesh are used as light alternative reinforcements when mixed with other building materials and applied either within or on top of structures for strength. In most cases, application or use of traditional clothing materials or fabric involves the breaking down of the cloth either into strip of fiber form to provide the flexibility needed for the process of the combination with other products or the application on top of already constructed products. Recent innovations in clothing design however could provide for a more custom-cut fabric. Issey Miyake
