Textile Journal - **Special Issue** on:
SHAPING SPACE: TEXTILES AS ARCHITECTURE AND ARCHAEOLOGY

Textile: The Journal of Cloth and Culture is proposing a special issue on
'Shaping Space: Textiles as Architecture and Archaeology', to be edited by
Professor Janis Jefferies (Goldsmiths College, University of London) and Dr.
Diana Wood Conroy (University of Wollongong).

This special issue seeks to commission and invite essays that explore
contemporary textile theory with substantial historical scholarship in relation
to issues raised by textiles as architecture. This might be in an archaeological
context designing ideas of place, space and measurement through myth and
narrative or though the use of textiles by architects for acoustic purposes. We
are also interested in contributions that address how sustainable textile
building technologies are being applied in contemporary architecture through the
use of new materials and methods of fabrication in electronic architecture.

If you would like to submit a paper, please send a first draft to the editors by
1 January 2006.

1st draft submissions: 1 January 2006
2nd submissions: 1 February 2006
Peer-review process: 1 March 2006
