      Brutalist Textiles
      Textile Design (2016)

      While I come from a family of Bavarian based weavers, a large part of my life was spent growing up in Berlin. It was here, where I developed a fascination for the Brutalist bulwark Unite D'Habitation, which could be seen from our house, looming in in the background.

      In my first year of design studies at the Goldsmiths university in London, I decided to combine my personal history in textiles and my current fascination for brutalist architecture and design. I decided to examining both fields intensively, and using the knowledge as well as the skills I had gathered, created a fabric inspired by the Unite D'Habitation, which was presented a concrete block I had cast myself, and which was created according to Brutalist specifications via a single casting process.
