Pattern Research Project: An Investigation of The Pattern And Printing Process - Herringbone

2017 Pattern Research Project Seylar Pring - Herringbone The Pattern Research Project involves research and analysis of contemporary patterns found in the textiles and wallcoverings of the built interior environment. Patterns use motif, repetition, color, geometry, craft, technology, and space to communicate place, time, and concept. Through this research and analysis, built environments - their designers, occupants, construction, and context - can be better understood. Seylar Pring, VCU Interior Design BFA 2020, selected the Herringbone pattern for the 2017 Pattern Research Project. The text below is excerpted from the student’s work: “The herringbone pattern dates back to Roman times, where this pattern was found to be used in roadways and laid down in such a pattern called “opus spicatum,” which is referred to as the herringbone design found in modern textiles, sidewalks, and other interiors. Laying down the brick, tile, and cut stone in this pattern allowed for shock absorption where people would walk along the ground.”https://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/prp/1005/thumbnail.jp
