ON SURFACE & PLACE: BETWEEN ARCHITECTURE, TEXTILES & PHOTOGRAPHY

On Surface & Place is a rich and poetic exploration of surfaces and foregrounds their significance in our understanding and experience of place.

Adopting weaving as its overarching metaphor, it departs from Gottfried Semper’s discussion of correspondences between architecture and textiles, and emerges from the reading of photographs, a swatch of Harris Tweed and curtain wall façade juxtaposed. In juxtaposing the fabric of the city with the weave of Harris Tweed the study charts original course across a range of connected ideas and questions, combining many different themes, writers and disciplines. It presents integrated and innovative re-thinkings on a number of fundamental relationships, including correlations between body and building, word and image, and between the rural and the metropolitan, and the hand-crafted and the mass-reproduced. In doing so, it seeks to foreground the very interrelationship of surface and place, as it makes a claim for the relational nature of the world in which we live.

On Surface & Place is published by Routledge as part of the Ashgate Studies in Architecture Series.

On Surface & Place invents a compositional theory of matter and idea. The ontology of weaving meets architectural surface as an opening for thought and practice. Peta Carlin skillfully and beautifully creates a cartography in which social, material, aesthetic and political registers touch.  Kathleen C. Stewart, Professor of Anthropology, University of Texas at Austin.

Between her photographs of Melbourne’s curtain wall facades and memories of travels to the Outer Hebrides, Carlin weaves lines of thought from art, architecture, literature, and philosophy, into a poetic, thought-provoking topography. Jeff Malpas, Distinguished Professor, University of Tasmania.

表面和地点：建筑、纺织和摄影之间（ON SURFACE & PLACE: BETWEEN ARCHITECTURE, TEXTILES & PHOTOGRAPHY）

《On Surface & Place》是一个丰富且具诗意的表面探索，阐释了表面对我们对一个地方的理解和体验意义匪浅。

以编织作为贯穿全书的隐喻，以戈特弗里德·森佩尔（Gottfried Semper）关于建筑与纺织品之间对应关系的论述作为出发点，并且藉由阐释摄影以及从哈里斯粗花呢与幕墙外观的样品中呈现。在织布上交织了都会与哈里斯粗花呢，研究结合了许多不同主题、作家和邻域，并且涵盖了一系列相关的想法和议题。对一些基本关系提出了综合与创新的新思路，包括身体与建筑之间；文字与图像之间；农村与都市之间、手工制作与批量化之间的相互关系。本书旨在强调表面和地方之间的相互关系，借以阐明万物息息相关的思维。

《On Surface & Place》即将由Routledge出版，作为Ashgate建筑系列研究的一部分。
