Week One . Materiality.


I want to start looking at the idea of materiality. Investigating new innovative material used in architecture and design, pushing their boundaries and seeing whether their qualities could cross over and be used within the fashion industry. I have been drawing this week using various materials and using architecture as a context to draw from, I am happy with the abstractness of the drawings but I feel they are not translating my ideas clearly or making my concept visual.  I have started looking at materials that are used in architecture that change over time or work with other materials to create something new. I have looked at the word synthesis, which is the process of reaction and two contrasting compounds working together to create something new. I have also looked at Morphogenesis, which is the biological process that causes an organism to change its shape.  I am going to continue to explore and work with these materials trying to push their boundaries using their qualities to make something new. Below are a few examples of materials I have been researching.  I am planning on emailing various companies to see if they can send samples so I can work with these first hand.
