DESIGN NAME: The Begginning
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Book Suit
INSPIRATION: The modular system was applied to "The Costume Codex" of the XVI century for the exhibition "Pretextos Textiles" exposed in the Spanish National Library. Four clothes were redesigned and adapted to -the grid system- to create four book-suits. On the one hand it explained the redesign of the Codex and on the other hand became the redesign of the same suit.
The project was inspired by a Codex because it has an incalculable value and is thought to be the first fashion catalog.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The reticle is a system that generates modular books with a double reading.
Every form applied to a modular grid allows us to generate books that are first read in a linear way and then unfold generating the form.
The Begginning consists of a folding book submitted to a modular grid that parody based on the evolutionary process of the Big Bang the origin of a new universe.
The Begginning is a continuation of the Modular Readings project (exhibited at the Spanish National Library and finalist in the Accent G awards) that studies the formation of book-suits.
When you open the book you will find a bird suit (head and body) with human proportions.
The project has been awarded by VEGAP and selected in the Young Talents Competition of Spain.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: First the book is closed in a square. It unfolds from right to left. The rest of the modules are displayed. Once the story is finished the book is displayed. It is necessary to turn around to find the suit.
It is a front and back suit with human proportions. You can put the suit, play with the modules or close again in a module 20 x 20 cm.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project began in January 2016 and ended in January 2017.
Selected as one of the best "Design Young Talents" 2017 of Spain.
Exposed in "Espacio Z" of Zuamaia, organized by VEGAP, 2016, Spain.
Selected and presented at the "Encounter of Young Talents 2018" of the City of Culture of Galicia.
Exposed in "Contemporary Art Center" in the exhibition "Baba Kamo", 2018 - Valencia.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The goal of the research was to create a new way of reading books.
Creating books with double reading allows to expand the reading experience.
For this purpose it was researched in the fields of architecture, origami, fashion, modular design.
The most important thing about the research is finding a way to create books-costumes. When researching modular grids a system was created. Now thanks to this system any form can be applied and create hundreds of modular books.
Only Researcher.
CHALLENGE: The most complicated part was to find a system that would close a suit in a book that could be read.
Find a perfect grid that worked and adapt forms to it.
At the same time it was also complex that this book had human forms and that the interior and exterior graphics combined. The book has 50 sheets and many combinations.
Bringing this product to reality isn´t easy because of the dimensions but it was found an ideal way to do and produce it with a very economical way.
