PhD Student
Erica Henrysson has a double degree: MSc in Structural Engineering and a Master of Architecture. Since fall 2016 she is a PhD student and part of the Architecture and Engineering Research Group. She is researching kinetic architecture, with a focus on wind and textile. “Can we, with textiles, create architecture that can use wind and benefit from it?”
She is working in an explorative and creative way, with form, material and production methods, as well as mathematical sketching, simulations and physical prototypes.
