DESIGN NAME:
Logical Madness

PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Knitwear

INSPIRATION:
I image that the Knitting is built from the line to become the surface, such as architecture. So I decided to base my historical research on the “three-dimensionality”. During this research I came across John Nash, a mathematician, who was rigorous and scientific, but he suffered from schizophrenia, who was manipulated to his hallucinations. He lived in his own world of pure imagination, beyond any logic. After more research, I realized that thanks to John Nash who made great achievements in the field of differential equation. So I chose a model of differential equation to be used as a design element. Then I translated graphically the cloud of thoughts that came out of the hallucinatory Nash’s mind, with the image of indefinite SMOKE floating in the air which is dispersed.

UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
I based my design on the contrast between a real three dimensional and a hallucinative. The project that I realized is made so obvious by volume as opposed to flat surfaces that simulate the same projections. To evoke the dimensionality using only a surface that I created a 2d drawing "optical" with translating it into a card for the knitting machine. And the whole project is made by hand.

OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
For the processing of the "Y" - I used a machine Coppo fin.3. For working with the board - I used a machine fin.5 brother . I run on a Jacquard knitting .For shaping the band made ​​of jacquard - I pulled the canvas with the press "termoadesivatrice adhesive" on the reverse side of the mesh so as to deform the end and made them follow the profile of "Y" . Then with a thick thread I made a tubular webbing, i put in work on the machine Coppo . Following the pattern I worked the tape,i created the pieces to two or more bubbles. It was not a thought pattern in advance, but the pieces were joined directly on the mannequin and then be sewn together . To highlight the three-dimensional part , I filled the bubbles with raw cotton .Then I hand-stitched the various parts.

PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION:
The project started in April 2013 in Milan and finished in September 2013 in milan, and was exhibited in “Il tessile ecologico”in october 4, 2013 in Trieste.

FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY:
Fashion, Apparel and Garment Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY:
For the processing of the "Y" - I used a machine Coppo fin.3 . I worked with 20 stitches , I did the decreases , and I then repositioned on the machine , then i worked for another 55 cm on both sides . For working with the board - I used a machine fin.5 brother . I run on a Jacquard knitting .For shaping the band made ​​of jacquard - I pulled the canvas with the press "termoadesivatrice adhesive" on the reverse side of the mesh so as to deform the end and made them follow the profile of "Y" . Then with a thick thread I made a tubular webbing, i put in work three needles on the machine Coppo . Following the pattern I worked the tape with knitting needles of no 15 ,i created the pieces to two or more bubbles. It was not a thought pattern in advance, but the pieces were joined directly on the mannequin and then be sewn together . To highlight the three-dimensional part , I filled the bubbles with raw cotton .Then I hand-stitched the various parts.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
I image that the Knitting is built from the line to become the surface, such as architecture. So I decided to base my historical research on the “three-dimensionality”. During this research I came across John Nash, a mathematician, who was rigorous and scientific, but he suffered from schizophrenia, who was manipulated to his hallucinations. He lived in his own world of pure imagination, beyond any logic. Everything of the world is vague, there is no absolute good or bad.It doesn't take much to become either a lunatic or a genius. I like to use a strong contrast to design my project, to reflect all the complexity and inclusiveness.

CHALLENGE:
It is undoubtedly the biggest challenge was how to design a pattern to embody three-dimensional. I had a lot of survey to design the pattern of front part. And how to knit for reflecting the model of differential equation. In order to achieve the visual differences between 2d and 3d effect, I have repeatedly made the demolition and redone. It took six months to complete this work.
