Project Description: This project focused on designing a 3D textile structure from a two-dimensional pattern. We 3D printed flat patterns onto pre-stretched fabric, allowing it to transform into a volume without any support structures. When released from tension and washed, the fabric contracted back to its natural state, but the printed pattern resisted this shrinkage. As a result, the pattern interacted with the fabric’s contraction, creating stable, dynamic shapes. The fabric’s elasticity, the stiffness of the printed pattern, and the gaps between printed segments caused varying degrees of shrinkage, resulting in unique 3D volumes as the fabric squeezed and the pattern popped out.

in Spring 2020, all students from tranSTUDIO 2020 were awarded a residency at the Autodesk Technology Center, and my studio was sponsored by the Technology Center Grant.
