The Materiality of Well-Being:

设计活的纺织品作为界面来提高建成环境中的幸福感。这项研究调查了纺织品和微生物学如何融合在一起，创造出散发气味的活纺织品，以改善建筑空间中的人类福祉。一种以多物种为中心的方法利用设计方法开发出以选定微生物为宿主的纺织品，并释放出一种由人类与微生物相互作用引发的与森林有关的气味。这一创造性实践博士学位的成果包括一系列活的纺织品和特定于场地的室内建筑。一场成果展览将评估公众对使用活纺织品作为感官反应系统的反应，该系统1)创造嗅觉和物理空间来支持压力缓解，2)充当与非人类共处和互动的新建筑形式的激活器。

Designing living textiles as interfaces to enhance well-being in the built environment.This research investigates how textiles and microbiology can be merged to create scent-emitting, living textiles to improve human well-being within architectural spaces. A multi-species centred approach utilises design methods to develop textiles that host selected microbes and emit a forest-related scent triggered by human-microbe interactions. The outcomes of this Creative Practice PhD include a portfolio of living textiles and a site-specific interior architecture. An exhibition of outcomes will evaluate the public response to the use of living textiles as a sensory response system that 1) creates olfactory and physical space to support stress-relief and 2) acts as activator for new forms of architecture of co-habitating and interacting with the non-human.
