Textile Technology and Design addresses the critical role of the interior at the intersection of design and technology, with a range of interdisciplinary arguments by a wide range of contributors: from design practitioners to researchers and scholars to aerospace engineers. Chapters examine the way in which textiles and technology – while seemingly distinct – continually inform each other through their persistent overlapping of interests, and eventually coalesce in the practice of interior design.

Covering all kinds of interiors from domestic (prefabricated kitchens and 3D wallpaper) to extreme (underwater habitats and space stations), it features a variety of critical aspects including pattern and ornament, domestic technologies, craft and the imperfect, gender issues, sound and smart textiles. This book is essential reading for students of textile technology, textile design and interior design.

Deborah Schneiderman is Associate Professor of interior design in the School of Art & Design at the Pratt Institute, New York, USA, and a registered architect and LEED Accredited Professional.

Alexa Griffith Winton is an independent design historian based in New York, where she is also a part time assistant professor at Parsons School of Constructed Environments, New York, USA.

Foreword by Susan Yelavich (Director the Parsons new Masters in Design Studies Program, New York, USA)
