The Pliable Plane: Pattern in Surface and Structure
Event Information
Description
Join this first event in our series The Pliable Plane, bringing together leading designers, architects, curators and researchers to explore the influence of Bauhaus textile designer Anni Albers on architecture, and the use of 2D and 3D patterns in our built environment today.
Chair:
Oliver Stratford, Editor in chief, Disegno
Panel:
Adam Nathaniel Furman (Architectural Designer)
Anna Murray (Creative Director. Co Founder PATTERNITY)
Ann Coxon (Curator of Displays and International Art at Tate Modern)
Ptolemy Mann (Textile Artist, Designer and Colour Consultant)
‘The Pliable Plane’ takes its name from Albers’ essay ‘The Pliable Plane: Textiles in Architecture’ (1957) and draws on themes she explores of surface pattern and structure, flexibility and responsiveness of materials, and adaptability of a buildings programme. This coincides with the opening of Tate Modern’s first UK full-scale retrospective of her work in London (11 Oct 2018 – 27 Jan 2019).
