From the first day of Interior Materials, I was extremely excited to see what the semester held from me in this class. From the very first minute, I knew I would love this class. I saw a lot of familiar faces from the previous semester class. The one assignment that I learned most from was the swatch kit. Learning everything from the construction, the uses, and the fiber content and of course the name really broadened my horizons on all of the different types of fabrics that are used in interiors.
The field trip that really interested me was the one to All About Looks. This store was amazing and had examples of fabrics that I have never even seen or heard of! It really took me back seeing that they had an upholster on staff. My grandfather used to upholster old chair for us and it was made me start to love furniture. That was not the only thing that made me love this field trip, it was truly how sweet and helpful the ladies were and how they gave me a new perspective on fabrics and all of their different uses.
My favorite in class assignment that I plan to learn the most is in the LEED presentations. After being a summer intern at an amazing engineering firm where I had truly discovered what LEED is all about, I expect to learn a lot about how interior materials can help increase LEED points. After doing my project alone I learned all about the renewable energy sources that can help make a building more energy efficient. But even after I was done with my project, I still like to research all the amazing discoveries and ideas that LEED bring to the design table.
