Fiber art is constantly referred to as the warmest art in modern architecture, and its unique techniques, rich texture and profound cultural heritage convey a kind of modern ideal and attitude towards life. The works of fiber are full of natural elements and hand-made charm, evoking a deep feeling of nature, eliminating to a certain extent the sense of apathy and monotony, and retaining humanness in the modern life where hard materials are extensively used. Fiber art teaching and research should be a cross-disciplinary, multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary interaction oriented towards the globe, the communities, the market and beyond.
