TR, Transformational Reconstruction

SHINGO SATO, MASTER OF TRANSFORMATIONAL RECONSTRUCTION

Shino Sato explains his TR, or Transformational Reconstruction, Pattern Design techniques. Shingo sculpts his designs using flat pattern methods to build in 3-dimensional effects, often cutting them into pieced waves and geometric patterns of fabric and color. He is an excellent, experienced instructor of TR in Milan and Tokyo and one of the most innovative pattern designers in the field. For a look at Shingo's work see Julian Roberts' video of a recent TR Master Class at Central St. Martin's in London. Also view his video channel on YouTube or visit his website. CFPD will bring Shingo to Chicago and Vancouver in spring 2011.

TR-3D Technique

tr cutting school -the origami dress project

tr technique is a more intuitive, organic design process than the conventional +1/-1 mathematical based pattern cutting systems you may be used to. tr technique allows through trial and error, the discovery of chanced upon happy mistakes. by trying to figure out tricky design combinations, or by alternating your vantage points you can serendipitously arrive at unforeseen creative solutions or even more avant garde destinations than were originally foreseen. sometimes you might completely mess up and sometimes these mistakes will be a much better end result than what you were hoping to achieve; they may very well replace your initial idea, becoming the new unforeseen outcome to your trials. perhaps you might set out to challenge conventional rules further and set yourself many more goals and trials! for the further info about origami technique, please refer to the video " origami concept" shingo sato
