Textile technology and design : from interior space to outer space 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.
