Transformation of elements in combinatorial costume shape-forming

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to analyze the transformations as a separate phase of combinatorial costume design. Combinatorial elements often undergo targeted and sometimes quite radical change to achieve the harmony ofthe whole model. In the first place transformation of elements expands their range of use and increases the possible number of variants of costume models. It is also needed to transform the elements to bring them to the form that corresponds to the task, and get them to look as a costume detail in the finished form.At the stage of transformation it is determined which assortment group can elements be part of. Primary elements may initially have strict limitations, and become more versatile after the phase transformation. Or element can change its purpose.There are principles of transformations that are specific to all the elements that have a direct connection with the geometrical parameters. Along them, each type of elements has specific only for itself transformations associated with the properties of the elements, features and semantic meaning of its parts. Transformation is the final production stage of a palette of elements that are basic for creation of effective conceptual model row. One should pay special attention to this stage in combinatorial design.A detailed review of the processes of transformation of combinatorial elements can be seen in the architectural studies of combinatorics. Scientists have identified configurative, coloristic dimension and structural transformations on several levels. For a full evaluation of the transformation as combinatorial means, they should be isolated in a separate step and include all kinds of changes, including symmetric. Such flexible form as costume, allows all types of changes without losing the original functional content.Combinatorial costume morphogenesis is a complex process with a certain algorithm and key constituents phases. In addition to a formation of combinatorial elements and combination, transformation can be noted among the phases. In modern scientific literature transformation are performed in parallel with other operations in process of formation, they are not given a separate phase. But because of the fact, that costume combinatorics is associated with specific forms and functions of their parts, transformations must take place gradually and have their limitations, depending on the type of elements. Output of transformation as a separate phase of shape-forming is a prerequisite for improving the effectiveness of combinatorics as a tool for design.At the position of a separate stage of design, combinatorial transformation can be considered as a new means of combinatorics. This allows to greatly expand its scope.Considering the features of combinatorial costume forms, there are two general types of transformation of primary elements – combinatorial and symmetric. The combinatorial operations of changing of characteristics of elements can be divided into three groups: changing of configurations, resizing and color solutions. Each group has its scope, tasks and sequence of operations.Since each element of the costume is often a combination of different geometric shapes, general and domestic level in combinatorial transformations can be divided. There is a change of the form that is simultaneously changing all the figures , their configuration and location at the general level. At the domestic level, the transformation undergoes a figure that is part of the element, or even one line in this figure. Combinatorial actions are expressed in the changes of the elements that are combined (segments, lines , shapes ) relative to one another, replacing some or all of the elements combined with resizing and other changes in geometric characteristics of elements, changing the number of elements in final combination.Placing elements in the structure of the object, one can set their plane and spatial relations. In particular, it can be expressed that the elements are placed close together or far apart, above or below one another, face or not, are in random positions or due to certain rules.In costume design combinatorial transformation can be combined and held as a single act. This ensures saving actions, the way to the final result is reduced. Therefore, a new combination differs from the previous one on several grounds. The decision to hold combinatorial changes gradually or simultaneously depends on the project objectives, requirements of changes for a particular stage of formation and the expected result.Combinatorial transformation in costume can be used for finished sketch models and for the original combinatorial elements. Ability to certain changes and variability of the results depends on the type of combinatorial elements.The main goal of transformation of combinatorial elements is to create a palette of elements that are relevant to the area of interest and meet the design task. Therefore, transformation is used to improve and harmonize the item shape.Modern scientists identified the main types of symmetry found in costume: orthogonal, moving, similarity, affine, curved. Using symmetry leads to harmonization of forms and a new, more interesting design solutions, as far as almost all symmetric transformations add elements to a form or changing its configuration, and silhouette that creates a distinct artistic image. Catalogue elements change shape, but their functional meaning and place in a suit remains unchanged; the same applies to the typical costume items. It should be noted that both combinatorial and symmetric changes in elements may include all parts, several of them, or only one part of the system. Since the typical elements and catalogue forms are often the system of geometric forms, the essence of the partial effect of transformations is similar to the basic system of elements.
