If you want to understand, and be a part of, the creative revolution in
materials design, then Designing with Smart Textiles is the complete
toolkit you need to get started.
Beginning by introducing the terminology and key applications, the book
goes on to examine the key design processes needed to develop
interactive textile design concepts, with detailed projects and examples
to help you apply these approaches in your own practice.
Case studies and interviews with innovative designers introduce you to
different artistic and technological practices, and demonstrate how
world-leading researchers are creating new technologies, yarns, fabrics,
and applications. Practitioners share unique insights into their
processes, and "Tech Tips" so you can build on their research in your
own work.
