Soft sculpture/fiber art, an important arm in modern art, is a kind of both ancient and modern art category that has been receiving great attention in the circles of arts and architectures worldwide. From the ancient mat-rolling handcrafts, the weave of blanket and tapestry, and the genes of tapestry, we can all notice the elements of modern fiber art. Thanks to the application of specific material and its diversified expression, soft sculpture/fiber art can present in a plane, dimensional and spatial appearance. In addition, soft sculpture/fiber art is also a both functional and aesthetical form of arts. Nowadays, many soft sculpture/fiber art works have been displayed in some very famous public architectural spaces. Soft sculpture/fiber art and the environment set each other off, which makes its function being widely extended. Its close relationship with architectural environment has not only extended the original practical and decorative function of the fiber art, but also improved some indifferent senses in architectural space, greatly leading to an increased human atmosphere in the public space.
The lecture will focus on the interaction of modern architectural and the soft sculpture/fiber art, to interpret the glamour and the unique spatial artistic conception it generates.
