Humans are recognized as the most adaptable species on Earth, as demonstrated by parts of our body that are no longer of actual use but essential for survival. However, despite their advancements, our technological creations lack the same adaptive intelligence, remaining static in the face of rapid changes and evolving environments.
But if we could, even for a moment, imagine using all the technologies at our disposal in a tailored manner and pushing them to their limits, what materials and geometries could we create, and how would they interact with our bodies and the environment? What issues could we improve, and how would our lives change? We could undoubtedly develop solutions with unprecedented adaptive intelligence, capable of responding in real-time to climate changes on Earth and future needs in hostile environments such as space or new planets yet to be explored.
The human body remains an organism in evolution, and with this workshop, we will explore possible scenarios for its future.

This workshop will focus on generating textures based on data and the selection of bio-material from the material library. Using data from the body or environment, we will investigate the generation of geometry in textile forms, patterns, and microstructures, from a single layer to multiple layers, able to respond to different needs.
By the end of this workshop, participants will develop a robust approach to building a wide variety of geometry systems based on data. The main objective is to embed biomaterial know-how in the design workflow.
This workshop explores design methodologies that connect the information around us, understood as Data, and the physical world, understood as Materials.
With the "Adaptive Fashion: Procedural Design with Bio-Materials" workshop, the choice of bio-materials is placed at the center of the design process. Participants will be able to generate complex geometries, from which it will be possible to extract useful information to select the most appropriate materials.
This integrated approach aims to create a relationship between design and materials, making the product more functional in its mechanical properties and more sustainable in its end-of-life.
The proposed methodology will be applied to creating and visualizing a second skin for the human body. This does not exclude the fact that this approach can be adapted to different design scales, expanding its potential to various design areas.

I enjoyed the Adaptive Fashion workshop! It was a great experience. The hands-on techniques were easy to follow and opened my eyes to new, eco-friendly design methods.
