Warp Core

Warp Core explores garments as a system responding to force. The work investigates how parametrically generated knit structures deform and recover under multi-directional tension.

This project demonstrates that garments can manage force through controlled deformation.

PUR hotmelt is applied onto pre-stretched knit. When tension releases, the bonded surface compresses into a dimensional texture that holds. The parametric code determines where the material gives and where it grips.

Force was applied along and across the grain to test stretch range, recovery, and repeatability.

The knit deforms along the coded pattern. Release the force, and the structure returns to its textured state. The material absorbs stress without losing its logic.
