In this class, students will be introduced to how textiles and colors are a significant opportunity for interior designers to impact placemaking. 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 wellbeing. 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.
