Societal trends like a renewed interest in crafts, the need for a sustainable mass production system and the emergence of personalization are reshaping the way the fashion system works. By means of a series of conceptual garments and research… text/html 2017-10-18T17:56:32+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/classes/biodyes?rev=1508349392&do=diff BioFabricating Dyes & Materials 17-10-2017 Cecilia Raspanti The textile industry is one of the most polluting in the world, in which one the most environmentally disastrous processes is the dyeing of fibers and textiles of the clothes we wear. Chemicals are released daily in rivers and nature destroying the environment around us to satisfy the colour demands that we create as designers, industry and consumers. Very few options are being explored in this fast changing fashion, clothing and tex… text/html 2017-10-25T08:02:29+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/classes/circularfashion?rev=1508918549&do=diff Fabricademy 2017 Circular Open Source Fashion Zoe Romano In this class the lecture will outline the systems behind fashion and the textile industry, focusing on alternative systems such as circular fashion, agile fashion, open value chains. The focus will be on creating modular elements, structures and connections that allow the user to change the shape of a garment, resize it or replace certain elements. Students will publish their creations on open source platforms and learn how to monitor… text/html 2017-11-02T14:58:03+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/classes/computational?rev=1509634683&do=diff Fabricademy 2017 Computational Couture Aldo Sollazzo Brief Disciplines as programming and electronics become highly interconnected, blurring old boundaries and merging different fields of knowledge. Fashion has been already affected by this radical change. Therefore, clothes, shoes and other accessories can now incorporate elements of hardware and software, generating a peculiar mix between fashion and computation that is incredibly fertile and inspiring.

In the same way authors were using pencil and paper, then typewriter, keyboard and currently voice dictation, the tools of the fashion designer evolved through time. text/html 2018-03-27T08:58:48+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/classes/finalprojects?rev=1522141128&do=diff Moved to Fabricademy 2017 Final Projects text/html 2017-09-26T12:39:32+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/classes/intro?rev=1506429572&do=diff 1.

Unlike rigid robots we are mostly used to, soft bodied robots have similarities and performance characteristics similar to living organisms or the human body. Soft-robotics are based in Bio-inspired design or biomimicry and have applications in wearables, rehabilitation prosthetics, surgical robots, rescuing and others.
