Zero-waste • Experimental construction • Material systems
Model-Constructor is a series of five garments developed through a system of repeated cut elements derived from A4-based experiments.
Each model is constructed using a zero-waste approach — no material is removed and all cuts remain part of the structure.
The project explores how simple repeatable operations can generate variation, structure and spatial complexity. Inspired by non-human forms, I moved away from traditional body-based pattern cutting.
