2003: 04 Feature: Dominique Perrault/Tissus A+U 391
Dominique Perrault in recent years has been realising a new expression in architecture - the "metallic fabric". In five featured works we find an affinity to keywords of cloth making; "draped", "curtain", "veil", "slipcover". "evening gown", to imagine various metallic fabrics creating architecture. Through an exploration of the process of how architecture is created with metallic fabric as in a weaving cloth. Perrault has been able to materialize (de-materialize?) this double relationship with architecture, both physical and cultural, in the way he uses the metallic fabrics  A+U, Japan, 04/2003. 168pp $A 68.50
