(Fully Online Postgraduate by Coursework Elective)

Textiles for interiors are the focus of your study for this fully online course. By virtue of their very ordinariness textiles are often relegated to ‘invisible’.

You will gain an advanced understanding of the significance that textiles contribute to the sensorial and spatial aspects of interior spaces, without the use of sophisticated apparatus or complex scientific analysis. Based on personal analysis, shared experience and observation, the effects that textiles can and do exert on interior environments will be explored. This analysis, will be supported by your own reading and extended research of context, concept and theoretical precedents that prevail in this discreet area of study, and will then be debated online with your class mates.

This congruence of new and existing knowledge, will assist in your deeper understanding of the multidisciplinary nature of how textiles impact on interior spaces. The importance of architectural, design and fine art theory will be an expected inclusion of your own reading for this course. You will participate in activities involving problem solving, critical thinking and the establishment of design outcomes based on advanced knowledge of sensorial and spatial influences that textiles can exert on interior spaces.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Students will receive course website location and log in instructions via their UNSW email account prior to the commencement of the course.
