Information on what weave of fabric to use when?

I have been looking to find some reading material on why certain fabric weaves are used in certain applications, like why use a 2x2 vs a 4x4, why use certain sizes of spread tow in some applications, etc. 

Is there anywhere that I can start to get more info on material selection and the advantages/ disadvantages in situations?

Thanks!

Glad you like it, we had been filming it recently but my lips were sealed in terms of release date.   The distortion of the fabric over the metal dome is far better a visual representation of drapability than I could ever describe in words.
