Use of non-traditional methods of constructing garments with three-dimensional elements

Abstract

This work introduces the theoretical aspects of the use of non-traditional elements of constructing garments. The heuristic methods apply in the cases when the traditional methods of resolving the constructive modeling problems are incapable to overcome the complexity of shapes. There is a multitude of methods and principles of designing and modeling garments that may generate ideas based on the individual creativity, logical development, thus capable of intensifying the creative exploration process. The experimental researches have addressed the possibilities of providing cohesion between the architecture and the design of garments by using the materials and spaces, without being limited to the shape of human body. This imposed the use of architectural reconstruction technique, based on a mosaic concept. Another technique fitting in the mentioned concept is the ”Origami”, alloаing to obtain plane shapes. The change of volume and structure of product elements was enabled owing to the three-dimensional multiplication technique named ”Accordion”.
