Final project//
About
My final project will be a modular panel consisted of e-textiles that they interact with space and with the users.The nature of these smart textiles is not only fashion oriented but works as a pallete that indicates the use of smart fabrics also in other uses , for example architecture and design.
Description
Smart textiles and their applications are constantly in development and a lot of artists and engineers are working constanly on similar projects. I believe the most important thing to ask and answer is why we want to call them smart textiles?and in which way they interact? And WHY to interact? My purpose is to use the smart fabrics as an architecture SPACE element that will break the monolithic surfaces that define a building even until our modern days. Ventilation and light is two parameters that break the monolithic walls and connects the interior with the exterior space. For my final project i would like to work with electomagnets which allow movement with no mechanical system and optic fibers.
Design
My smart fabric modular pallet will start with two main textiles. An optic fiber fabric connecteg to an RGB led and a photosensor and another e-textiles made out of a lot of flipping parts that will flip due to electromagnetic field that will be uplied via a button.
The materials and components that will be used are : fabric, fabric vinyl, enamelled copper wire 0.1mm, enamelled copper wire 0.2mm, copper foil, 3d print filaments, soldering wire, leds, opric fiber fabric, optic fibers, magnets, batteries, copper plates, cables, wood, acrylic, textile glue, normal glue, threat,sewing kit, photosensor, button, microcontrollers, resistors, capasitors,relays, arduino, arduino bread board.
The cost of the materials is 241,5 euro since the optic fiber fabric unfortunatelly is an expensive item (130 euros for a sample of 40*60 cm). Optic fiber fabric_ 130 euros// fabric_free leftovers// fabric vinyl_ 2 euro//enamelled copper wire 0.1mm_ 12 euro// enamelled copper wire 0.2mm 1 euro// copper foil stripes_ \3 euro// 3d print filaments _2 euro// soldering wire_2,5 euro// leds(includingRGB)_4// magnets_7 euro// batteries_5 euro// copper plates_4 euro// cables_3 euro// wood_ 4 euro// acrylic_13,5 euro// textile glue_free leftovers// normal glue_ free leftovers// threat,sewing kit_ free leftovers// photosensor_ 1 euro// button _1 euro// 2 microcontrollers Attiny 45_1.5 euro , 8 resistors_ 4 euro//, 2 capasitors_ 1 euro// 2 relays_ 4 euro// arduino_ free leftovers// arduino bread board_free leftovers//
