Assignment 02.02
You should have applied an increasing number of folds and cuts (first 3 and then 7) to the half of your item’s front view, in the appropriate scale, according to the item’s size.
Original grid, points, angles, and axes relationships should have guided your operational choices. Simple paper models, 11x17’’must be on the wall.
1)- Redraw your half front view (containing original grid, points, angles, and axes all together) including the new lines generated from the application of folds and cuts. Retrace your paper model in AutoCAD. Rethink cuts and folds (7). Turn off your profile lines layer.
2) - In AutoCAD, mirror your new half front view. Choose two axes and rotate your new half front view with reference to the two chosen axes. Keep trace of each phase through lines relationships and lines hierarchy (front, back, behind).
Use trimming and extension options applied to lines.
You should have a composition of 4 drawings. Rethink cuts and folds according to the new figure. Turn off profile lines. Scale each drawing to fit 8 1/2x11” pages.
Make a physical 3D model using 2ply chipboard, possibly white.

Stage 02: Material
Assignment 02.01
We will operate transformations to your object’s surface.
Print half of your object’s front view (along its symmetry axis) in 1:1 scale (if small item) or 1:5 scale (if big item), on white paper.
Work on your final drawing containing original grid, points, angles, and axis all together.
Apply 3 cuts and 3 folds.
Grid, points, angles, and axis relationships should guide your operational choices.

Assignment 01.06 Surface layering
1) - We continue our process of surface mapping analyzing zones of your items that contain patterns.
In AutoCAD, on the front, back, right, and left side views of your item, draw the following for each view and create a new layer with the same name:
- Pattern field (a field with grey hatch, different size nets) in all your views, or where necessary in your item.
Keep the grid as reference in light grey color as background,
Print from AutoCAD 11x17” paper sheets, one for each view (total of 4 views), representing Profile lines (and constitutional lines), Pattern field, and grid as background, in B/W, scale to fit page.
File title: A0106-cad-Pattern
2) - Draw an isometric projection using front and back views of your item, with Profile lines (and constitutional lines). Consider the thickness of the material. Between the two views draw dotted construction lines. The two views distance is 7” (may vary). Print fit to scale, in B/W.

Assignment 01.05 SurfaceLine
We continue our process on surface mapping.
Keep measuring parts of your item.
Use the same grid of 1”x1” modules as template (in Autocad, scale 1:1), and print the grid on white paper, accordingly to the size of your item.
Place physically the item in reference with the grid.
In Autocad, draw the back, right side, and left side views of your item, keeping the grid as reference, in light grey color as background.
Draw the following for each view and create layers with the same names:
Profile lines (continuous line, red); do not print yet;
Axis (continuous line, black); do not print yet;
Angles (dashed line, black); do not print yet;
Point mark (red dots with a circle around-1/2” diam.); do not print yet.
Add Pattern profile (a field with grey hatch, small net) in all your views, including the front view already done in the previous assignment. Do not print yet.
Print from Autocad 11x17” paper sheets, one for each view (total of 3 views- 3 sheets), representing Profile lines (and constitutional lines) and grid as background, with colors, scale to fit page.

Assignment 01.04 SurfaceLine
We start a process of surface mapping.
Measure your item. For example, if it is a dress or a shirt, measure the entire length, partial lengths, measure chest, waist, hip, shoulder, sleeve, neck, and more.
Draw a grid of 1”x1” modules in Autocad, scale 1:1, and print the grid on white paper, accordingly to the size of your item.
Place physically the item in reference with the grid. Focus on the front view.
In Autocad, draw the front view of your item, keeping the grid as reference in light grey color as background.
Draw the following and create layers with the same names:
Profile lines (continuous line, red);
Axis (continuous line, black);
Angles (dashed line, black);
Pattern profile (grey hatch);
Point mark (red dots).
Print from Autocad a 11x17” paper sheet with colors, scale to fit page.
At the bottom of your page, insert a Legenda with layers and lines.

Assignment 01.02 – Visual mapping
Continue to observe your Fashion Brand. After our previous class discussion and pin-up, you should have more and critical insights.
It is time now to choose your favorite item between all the products of your Fashion Brand.
It could be a dress, a shirt, a skirt, pants, or an accessory as bag, shoe, belt, but it must be involved with a fabric/textile motive and with surface texture.
We are approaching the field of operativity of ornament, as surface/skin in relationship with a structure/body.
Operations of visual mapping that are applied on your selected series of digital images will affect and increase your capability of “seeing”.
On 2 cheap-board bases 11x17”, vertical orientation, compose ‘visual diagrams” and apply selective operations on your object.
Particularly, you should map lines and points on one base; edges and boundaries of your item on the second base.
Apply the following manipulations: cutting, layering, overlapping, folding, and bending.
Work with paper, cheap-board, prints, images, and digital or freehand drawings in color.
Add selected B/W parts related to your diagrams.
The resulting diagrams should have a 3D graphical and physical result.

Stage 01: Selection
Assignment 01.01
Architecture is making its presence felt in fashion as the pliable metals, membrane structures, lightweight glasses and flexible plastics used in building construction are creeping on to the catwalks.
At the same time, architects and interior designers are borrowing the techniques of pleating and draping from traditional tailoring to design buildings that are interactive, inflatable, and even portable.
Fashion Brands suggested:
www.prada.com, www.versace.com, www.dolcegabbana.it , www.robertocavalli.com , www.giorgioarmani.com, www.gucci.com, www.annamolinari.it, www.gianfrancoferre.com , www.antoniomarras.it, www.valentino.com, www.dior.com, www.missoni.com , www.louisvuitton.com, www.tods.com , roberto capucci.
Choose your favorite Fashion Brand analyzing the following categories:
• Collection (clothes and accessories like shoes, bags, belts )
• Fashion shows
• AD campaign
• Other products (home collection, interior design, industrial design, watches, eyewear, jewelery, beauty, etc.)
• Events (movies, videos, installations, exhibitions)
• Store’s architecture (pick one store, interior or/and building)
Start selecting 12 B/W images, print them on paper, each image 8 ½” x 5 ½”.
Compose a strip of images mounted vertically, max length 60” (5 ft).
Use 1 or 2 colors in selected areas, to emphasize a concept running through the entire stripe.
You must cut out selected parts of the images, and work on iteration, rotation and/or overlapping possibilities.
Start to think about your preferred item: a dress, shirt, skirt, pants, bag, shoe, scarf, wallpaper, fabric/textile motive, etc. It should appear within your images’ assemblage.
