摘      要：This study explores the design possibilities with knitted architectural textiles subjected to *** purpose is to investigate how such textiles could be applied to alter the usual static expression of exterior architectural and urban elements,such as facades and *** design investigations were made on a manual knitting machine and on a CNC(computer numerically controlled)flat knitting *** knitting techniques-tuck stitch,hanging stitches,false lace,and drop stitch-were explored based on their ability to create a three-dimensional effect on the surface level as well as on an architectural *** textile samples produced using those four techniques were subjected to controlled action of *** experiments were also conducted,to probe the possibilities of digitally simulating textile behaviours in *** results indicate that especially the drop stitch technique exhibits interesting *** variations in the drop stitch pattern generate both an aesthetic effect of volumetric expression of the textile architectural surface and seem beneficial in terms of wind speed ***,these types of knitted textiles could be applied to design architecture that are efficient in terms of improving the aesthetic user experience and comfort in windy urban areas.
