The smart textile arena is characterized by application referring to real smart textiles, high performance textiles and wearable technologies. The aim of this project is to investigate how this new smart textile arena can be the playground for developing a new set of wearables that address the question of integrity and to introduce a new level of integration of smart textile in R&D and education.

DESIGN JAMMING...

  • Integrate with Nature (EMERGENCY OR NORMAL SHELTER)
INSIDE: "Home" feeling - make it warm, comfy as home - against SOLITUDE
OUTSIDE: Integrated with environment
double-face
  • Hide in Nature (EMERGENCY OR NORMAL SHELTER)
CAMOUFLAGE - observation
You can see from INSIDE what is happening OUTSIDE, not vice-versa - awareness
  • too DARK/too LIGHT
Easy to make it darker when there's light outside but not the opposite.
If it's dark, both after glowing colors and solar panels don't work.
THERMO COLORS (garments and/or tent)

Emergency shelter (unexpected storm) - quick - light - compact


Place it in a social environment as well - HOMELESS
