Notes:
This paper presents an illustrated discussion of the potential for creative design applications ofthermochromic textiles brought into contact with specifically designed heat-profiling circuitry. Theresults are derived from a current research programme at the design/technology interface on theapplication of colour change technology in interior textile design. Examples are given of textilesamples combining printed thermochromics with circuitry to demonstrate the aesthetic qualities thatcan be achieved from integration of the technologies in a flexible fabric system. Dynamic colourchange effects controlled by prototype circuitry and power electronics are demonstrated. The paperconcludes with an analysis of the potential for product/artefact development in the area of “smart”design and how, as a consequence, a responsive interior might be envisaged
