Fangyuan

Digital knitting / Polyester yarn / 2021

Establishing a matrix that is in the between reality and imagination is always one essential subject in Chinese traditional architecture design.

 

Taking this design philosophy of something from nothing as an inspiration, an exclusive style of open-work fabric has developed through digital knitting technology, in which the hole is specially designed to be square with rounded corners, which metaphors the multiple interpretations of the concept of "Fangyuan" in Chinese in the spatial scale, meanwhile, constructs a plane space with real and virtual.

 

When layering and assembly these 2D cloths to 3D clothing, dynamic and wearable contrast of solidness and void are established with the rise and fall of the body and its movements. Light and shadow, static and dynamic, architecture and fashion, traditional philosophy and modern technology all exist in this "Fangyuan" (dimension).
