Adorno contemporâneo: a biônica e fabricação digital no processo de design.

Abstract

This report describes the development process for the design of a contemporary adornment, which can be used as a necklace and body chain. Intended for the generational group known as Pro-Actives, who are not limited to heteronormative aesthetic codes, thus making it appropriate for them to use garments with gender-specific characteristics. Author Tai Hsuan-na’s methodology, used for the development of projects involving the Bionics method, was adopted throughout the product’s creative process. As a form of appreciation, the forms and visual elements are derived from the Brazilian biome, the Caatinga, with a focus on the shrubby Caatinga vegetation. Among all species, six were selected, with the aim of observing and capturing the formal elements of stems, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds, which could be used in the project.
