In:Space Dynamic Textiles Workshop with Virginia Melnyk
This workshop explores space as an elastic and transformable condition shaped through material, body, and movement. Through hands-on making and collective experimentation, participants will work with Virginia to explore how lightweight and transformable structures stretch, fold and adapt to human presence, constructing spatial experience through movement and touch.
Exceptional projects from the workshop will have the opportunity to be featured in the final IN:SPACE gallery exhibition, presented in dialogue with the visiting artists' own work.
Virginia Melnyk is an architectural researcher and designer, and Assistant Professor of Architecture at Iowa State University. Her practice explores soft and kinetic architectural systems through textile craft and computational design, centering tactility, material behavior, and embodied interaction to shape architecture through touch, movement, and use.
