Soft Surfaces: Visual Research for Artists, Architects, and Designers

by Judy A. Juracek

1,200 high-quality color images of traditional and innovative textiles, in print and on CD-ROM

Modeled on the successful Surfaces (1996), this stunning new collection of photographs catalogs how hundreds of varieties of textiles, grouped by structure and surface treatment, look up close and in interior and exterior applications such as window treatments, upholstery, awnings, tents, and floor coverings. The book is tailored to research needs in scope and focus, offering examples for architects, interior designers, textile professionals, theatrical and film designers, illustrators, and graphic designers. Interviews with professionals describe how they use visual research in their work.
