ABOUT BUILDING FASHION

On the edge of couture’s technological transformation, we will aim at prototyping templates that stage sharp, raw, urban, experimental and alien spatial apparel logics.

Topics are concerned with the acquisition of appropriate knowledge and understanding of the in-vogue association fashion to architecture, supported by the manipulation of essential digital skills which equip and prepare AA Paris participants toward physical experimentations.

THE STUDIO

self-assembled prêt-à-porter AAtelier, Fall/ Winter 2011 Self-assembled Prêt-à-Porter develops a new kind of skin operating as responsive systems to the contemporary needs of the human body, society and technology.

Confronting the currently existing ‘capitalism comfort zones’ in fashion industry (mass- distribution primarily) this studio seeks to engage self-assembled protocols as dynamic landscapes to generate architectonic surfaces.

Aided by handcrafted and software-generated physical modelling, the unit experiment with form finding methods and prototyping in order to achieve a design proposal.

Participants examine biological systems found in nature, from sea flora and fauna, like sponges, to all common-structure vertebrates and reptiles. The aim of the initial research is to draw inspiration to biomimic the local intelligence and structural systems of these creatures.
