Texture is a minor concept in the fields of art philosophy and design. Many writings and
artistic design works explore the texture of something but in itself texture receives less
attention. Texturing Space draws a cartography of texture and practices of texturing across
different spaces and modes of thinking and making. Comprising approaches from art urban and
interaction design cultural and media theory philosophy and sociology the contributions to
this volume provide nuanced understandings of texture and its potential value for creative
experimentation. Building on practice-based experiences in Zurich and Hong Kong the book
explores translocal and transcultural modes of collaboration pedagogical techniques and
manifold ways of engaging urban textures through the use of a mobile lab. Built around three
planes-diagramming relating belonging-the gathered materials contribute to an exponential
cartography of texture and texturing as key techniques and approaches for research-creation
(artistic research).
