Investigative studio students in this class investigate how wearable technology and robotics, industrial design and the fashion worlds are colliding and push emerging construction techniques for developing everyday products. These students will deploy cross-disciplinary methods to fuse fashion and soft good design. Traditional apparel techniques, such as garment engineering and flat pattern making are combined with experimental methods to develop fluid skills between each space. By mid term, IS students will pattern and build a 3D structural case or small pack, and for the final project, IS students design, pattern and construct a soft good design such as a robotics case, pack, hammock, swing or their own disruptive design.
