Profil d'enseignement Bachelier Design textile 2024—2025
Textile design
Through its history and ubiquity in everyday life, textile involves functional, symbolic, cultural, decorative and narrative dimensions. Its language is a social phenomenon used on both a personal and collective level. As a medium related to fashion, design and architecture, it is, like them, a means of visual expression. Textiles are flexible, mobile, made of fibres and threads, wefts and networks; they essentially interact with living things, mobilize collective work, and collude with line, text and digital processes. With its focus on research and innovation, textile is a vehicle for ancestral knowledge and the source of numerous craft and industrial activities. The creation of textures, structures, rhythms, designs and colourings is the object of a textile designer’s work, which is undertaken as a means of expression in its own right or for specific applications.
The Master’s programme (2nd cycle) requires a commitment on the part of students to a creative field, based on an awareness of what they will undertake and accomplish in the professional, artistic and social world. With this in mind, the Master’s 1 programme builds on the foundations of the Bachelor’s programme (1st cycle) and includes a situated project, interacting with a specific context (company, association, school, studio, etc.). This framework promotes working on a scale of 1:1, often in an interdisciplinary way, and questioning the information that emerges from the context, in order to formulate responses that take into account everything that goes on there and constitutes it.
Students are supported in their choice of a personal project, which is developed over a year and a half, and whose implementation goes beyond the scope of the school. Students can choose from various interdisciplinary courses and workshops given at La Cambre and other institutions, so that the programme can be adapted to the requirements of the chosen subject. Internships or residencies in different international contexts are encouraged in the Master’s programme.
