Designed by Morphosis architects, the Kolon One & Only Tower in Seoul, South Korea
- recycled materials were used where appropriate
- made from a high tech fibre which is also used to make bullet-proof vests
- Thom Mayne (founder of Morphosis) – worked with Korean textiles manufacturer Kolon to create the research and development facility
- A material called Aramid (reinforced fibre manufactured by Kolon which has 5x the tensile strength of iron) was used for the interconnected sunshade
DAR LUZ project by Lars Meeß-Olsohn and Ali Heshmati – installation at a light art walkway in Eindhoven, Germany
- the textile skin operated as a projection screen for staging a dynamically controlled light show
- sensors detected movements of visitors – transmitted to the LED spotlights – colour sequences and intensity of lighting effects
- attached to the wooden walkway at an angle of 15° to one another, the elastic, impregnated fabric was then stretched over stricture
