Abstract

Textile fibres are commodity materials that society will continue to use in large quantities for various applications yet also generate massive waste. Through coating application, upcycled textile waste has significant potential in building construction. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the usage of PVC mesh textile waste as a novel textile facade for Malaysian structures. Content analysis is used to analyse various textile façade constructions that perform architectural tasks. The overall conclusion found that PVC mesh covers all features in balance as a creative building façade that responds to the needs of the Malaysian tropical climate.
