The Art Institute of Tampa Textile Design Project

I’m working on a design case study and need a sample draft to help me study.

Nowadays, with the global pandemic, many people are facing the realities of working remotely and homeschooling their children. Combining traditional domestic spaces with educational and professional spaces is a challenge for many families. Based on the current situation, imagine that a client commissions you to create an interior design for a home office space and/or homeschooling area in their existing domestic space. What should be included in these new types of hybrid spaces? What are the specific needs for these spaces? Choosing textiles that have some sustainable characteristics can be a wise decision.

Your design can be projected for an imaginary space or an existing one. You can create a new concept from the starting point. The design of space can also (not required) be inspired by your previous research of images from your city (Midterm Project A) in terms of referencing a color palette, mood, and concept.

Select textiles, furniture, and coverings that are available in the market and include at least one of each item:

1- Window covering (curtain, linings, shades, or blinds)
2- Wall covering (wall paper or textile)
3- Wall covering for acoustic purposes
4- Soft floor covering (carpet, rug, etc.)
5- Upholstery for at least two pieces of furniture (desk chair, armchair, sofa, etc.)
6- Textiles for cushions

You can decide which way you will present the visual floor plan and/or perspective renderings of the designed interior: by hand (drawing, painting, collage, 3D model) or digital (Photoshop, Autocad, Revit, 3D, etc.)

Visit online manufacturer “showrooms” and gather swatches––virtual or physical (you can ask the company to ship them to you). The swatches should be paired with their textile specifications and maintenance label.

Include the selected swatches (a scan or image of it) in your project and create a swatch board.

Make a legend showing each material’s location on your project and add the following specifications:
