Abstract
In the past decade, there has been a shift towards rethinking materials, digital tools, and fabrication methods, leading to a post-digital approach. Post-digital implies that the computational tools are interwoven with sociocultural and situated environments, pushing for new cultural and material forms. To generate new cultures, it is crucial to develop hybrid design methods where computational tools work in synergy with materiality and can express cultural significations. Textiles have become the medium of exploration due to their long historical links with architecture, their capacity to create complex, adaptable, and multi-material structures, and direct connections with computation. The paper explores how the process of generating textile patterns through reenacting ancient fabrication processes can lead to re-coded textiles through adopting the theory of Neo-Baroque ‘folding’. The resulting studies showcase the promising potential for creating complex, topologically controlled, three dimensional narrated textiles.
