![Readable structures, Joke Robaard Since 2004 the Textile department of the Gerrit Rietveld Academy is called TXT: Textile and Text, these both words derive from the latin verb tessere, which means to weave. From that moment the department has developed an ongoing investigation in combining material research to theoretical research. Students are developing new forms of materialities: weaving, felting, knitting, printing.
