Description
AS DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY CONVERGE AT AN ACCELERATED PACE, COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN WILL BE AN INCREASINGLY IMPORTANT TOOL SERVING FUTURE GENERATIONS OF ATHLETES. AT THE SAME TIME,
AS THE EDGES BETWEEN SCIENCE, ART AND CULTURE BLUR AND EXPAND, OUR ABILITY TO DREAM, CREATE AND IMAGINE THROUGH DIFFERENT FILTERS, DISCIPLINES AND PERSPECTIVES WILL BE CRITICAL TO
OUR FUTURE AS LEADERS OF MODERN SPORT DESIGN.
THE NIKE + SCIARC 2.0 SEMINAR WILL EXPLORE THE INTERSECTION BETWEEN PRODUCT, ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE, COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURAL PRINCIPLES, DEVELOPING APPAREL
CONCEPTS FOR THE FUTURE RUNNER.
JUST AS ARCHITECTURE IS AN ENVELOPE FOR PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES, APPAREL IS AN ENVELOPE FOR THE HUMAN FORM. THIS PROJECT BRIDGES SCIENCE FICTION AND FACT, INVESTIGATING HOW
ARCHITECTURE CAN BE APPLIED TO ADVANCED APPAREL DESIGN AS SCAFFOLDING FOR THE BODY, CREATING STRUCTURES AND SYSTEMS THAT ENABLE THE FUTURE ATHLETE TO PERFORM AT AN ELEVATED
LEVEL. HOW CAN AN OUTFIT CREATE A MICROCLIMAT
