Contenu de la formation

— De Septembre à Décembre

Module 1 : State of the art — 1 semaine

Intervenant : Anastasia Pistofidou, Cecilia Raspanti

This class will introduce you to the Fabricademy topics and background and provide all the details on why and how document your work.

Module 2 : Digital body — 1 semaine

Intervenant : Anastasia Pistofidou

This class introduces new digital tools that complement hand tools in order to design, represent, make and modify the human figure that can then be used as a canvas for creation.

Module 3 : Open Source Circular Fashion — 1 semaine

Intervenant : 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.

Module 4 : Biochromes — 1 semaine

Intervenant : Cecilia Raspanti

This class will focus on exploring colouring alternatives to the current ones. Ranging from plant based, insect base and bacteria based pigments.

Module 5 : E-textile — 1 semaine

Intervenant : Liza Stark

During this week students will be introduced to an overview of the field of electronic textiles, example works in the field as well as materials and technical developments that have made these projects possible. We will go into details on different techniques for making soft/flexible/fabric circuits.

Module 6 : Bio-fabricating materials — 1 semaine

Intervenant : Anastasia Pistofidou

This class will focus on exploring material alternatives to the current ones. By bridging craftsmanship techniques and todays easier access to technologies, we explore alternative material resources in order to craft their processing and develop products and materials hand in hand.

Module 7 : Computational Couture — 1 semaine

Intervenant : Aldo Sollazzo

In this lecture participants will explore computational design methods towards a new reinterpretation of cloths, garments and accessories for fashion design, inspired by a new digital design methodology.

Module 8 : Open Source Machines — 1 semaine

Intervenant : Mar Canet & Varvara Guljajeva

The class explores the open source hardware field in general and focuses on its potential in the area of textile. How to update obsolete machines for producing textile? How to take advantage of digital fabrication and open source technology to come up with an open source machine for knitting, weaving and invent new techniques.

Module 9 : Textile Scalfold— 1 semaine

Intervenant : Anastasia Pistofidou

Technical textiles have various applications, among which agrotech, building, clothes, geotech, sports. In this class we will use textiles for composites, polymerisation, solidification, fabric formwork, crystallization, composites and biocomposites, agglomerates, etc.

Module 10 : Wearables — 1 semaine

Intervenant : Liza Stark

This second class on the topic of wearables and e-textiles will provide a more advanced coverage on soft sensors and actuators and programming interactions

Module 11 : Implications & Applications — 1 semaine

Intervenant : Oscar Tomico

Recent developments in electronics, software programming and service design are shaking the current notions of what a textile is. 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.

Module 12 : Soft Robotics — 1 semaine

Intervenant : Dr. Lily Chambers & Adriana Cabrera

This class will focus in the study of a specific field in robotics, the soft robotics. Unlike rigid robots we are mostly used to, soft bodied robots have similarities and performance characteristics similar to living organisms or the human body.

Module 13 : Skin electronic — 1 semaine

Intervenant : Katia Vega

In the same way that the wearables industry is integrating fashion practices in their development, we envision new partnerships between the biotech/tech companies and skin professionals such as makeup artists…
