Textiles for Interiors - Senses and Spaces - COFA0212 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Description This fully online course will help you learn why textiles are important in the design of interiors. Although their role is often overlooked, fabrics have always played important roles in defining both the atmospheric and spatial qualities of interiors - for example, textiles are sometimes used to filter light and muffle noise.
Exploring various dimensions of visual aesthetics, you will learn about contemporary trends in textile and interior design, and possible futures of textile design using new digital technologies. These will be placed in an overview of the context of an historical timeline. Through personal analysis, shared experiences and observation, you’ll understand more about how textiles affect your home and work environments. This online course offers you opportunities for both individual and collaborative learning activities. These will include problem solving, critical thinking and establishing design outcomes that support you in developing a heightened awareness of the sensory and spatial influences of textiles on interior settings. NOTE: This course is conducted via the Omnium system (omnium.edu.au). Students will receive log in instructions via their UNSW email account prior to the commencement of the course.
