Research Question

Can interactive and transformative textile bring more convenient and pleasure to our life?

Rationale & Context

Today’s textile design has developed as the technology advances. Also it shows the very close relationship with new materials, art and design as well as technological and scientific demand for consumers by leading the consumers with the variety to their fixed view. My innovation project based on fractal structures which suggest new fabrication. This formation is continuously changed their form and function as well as pattern and color.

*My Inspiration^?*<-More Information?-link

I was interested in human body and internal organ structure. During the investigation, I found very interesting factor that many parts of human internal organ formed fractal structure which is the smaller portions of the human circulation roughly resemble the general structure. This fractal structures are chaotic forms that are complex even though only a few simple mathematical rules can produce their shapes. Using this structure, I made 3 dimensional forms through pleating fabric and hand cutting.

My innovation project based on fractal structures which suggest new fabrication. This fabric looks small pieces. However, when this fabric was wide out, this fabric can change into various shapes and forms as well as pattern and color.
