3D Fashion Design Applying the Formative Principles of Fractal Geometry Shown in Bjarke Ingels Architecture

This study analyzed the formative principles and formativeness of Bjarke Ingels' buildings based on fractal geometry to derive fractal elements and apply them to fashion design. Five of Bjarke Ingels' works were selected and analyzed based on the formative principles and formativeness of fractal geometry. Based on this, proceeded with 3D fashion design based on fractal elements extracted from each building. The research found the following: First, by selecting and analyzing five of Bjarke Ingels' architectural works, self-similarity, repetition, and overlapping were commonly derived. Second, four fashion design works were developed by applying fractal elements derived from the previously analyzed formative principles and formativeness. The identified fractal elements consisted of a mountain ridge, a rectangular parallelepiped, a modified square, and a diamond. In this study, to structurally express these fractal elements, similar large and small shapes were created based on self-similarity and applied to design through repetition and overlap, with design development conducted using a 3D program. Using various analysis methods, architecture's formative principles and formativeness can be identified, as in the cases conducted in this study; thereby making various fashion designs possible. Additionally, it is expected that the scope of fashion design development will be expanded through experimental attempts at digital fashion design utilizing 3D programs.
