In this class, students will be introduced to how textiles and colors are a significant opportunity for interior designers to impact place-making. We will be learning about fibers, fabric structures, leathers, as well as emerging soft materials such as bio-fabricated materials. Applications for Windows, Walls, Soft Furnishings, Carpet/Rugs, as well as ceiling and acoustic applications will also be explored. Additionally, we will also apply the principles and theories of color effectively in relation to environmental impact and human well-being. The studio lab workshop will include readings, discussions, research, hands-on fabrication and site visits. Projects will not be directly applied to the studio design work but will serve as reference information.
