This research aims to obtain more insight in the perception of fabric drape and how fabric drape can be cat-egorized With the current 3D virtual technologies to simulate garments the fashion and clothing industry can speed up work processes, improve accuracy and reduce material consumption in fit, design …

Ecofield is a new strategy to strengthen ecosystems in the Netherlands by means of architecture specifically designed for the landscape and for animal and plant species. The current biodiversity policy Nature Network Netherlands (formerly Ecological Network) focuses on nature areas and thus ignores the …

Over the last few years, the term “smart cities” has gained traction in academic, industry, and policy debates about the deployment of new media technologies in urban settings. It is mostly used to describe and market technologies that make city infrastructures more efficient, and personalize the experience …

The conductive textile grid is a large-scale (226 x 115 cm) multi-layer demonstrator exhibiting different conductive textile materials with certain outputs (such as LEDs, thermo-chromic ink and shape memory alloy) can be connected onto a base conductive fabric. Various conductive materials such as knitted …

The proposed bi-functional protective structure intended to have hydrophilic interior towards the skin surface and hydrophobic exterior for protection, ensuring fast transfer of moisture between body and external environment. The sandwich structure is prepared using 100% wool jersey and varieties of …

How do empathy and socioperception affect organisations in the Western world? Action research involving in depth interviews with 50 change agents operating in a dozen European companies showed that these men and women have highly developed socioperception skills. They pick up and interpret the weak signals …

The short-term aim of this R&D project (financed by the Centre of Expertise Creative Industries) is to develop a virtually simulated textile database that renders 3D visual representations of these fabrics. The idea is for this database to be open source and be able to interface with 3D design applications …

The focus of this paper is to make a comparison between five different types of conductive, heatable samples. These samples have been produced according to the five most important implementation techniques developed so far, which are knitting, weaving, embroidery, printing and nonwoven padding  –and …

Fabric is een applicatie framework in aanbouw. UNIT4 wil een eerste versie gaan uitbrengen, hiervoor moet Fabric eerst goed aan de tand worden gevoeld. In dit project wordt een web applicatie gebouwd die zo veel mogelijk functionaliteit van Fabric gebruikt. Alle problemen en mankementen aan Fabric moeten …
