1. State of the art, project management and documentation¶
Had to start the first week with full of chaos, visa process, packing, shifting, previous Job handovers, etc..etc. so, during The First week of Fabricademy State of the art, project management and documentation - It was about GitLab which I have never worked / heard on before, was quite eager to work but also was a little confusing to undestrand the code. With the help of a few tutorials and layout provided has made my life easier to understand I have started working on it.

About Fabricademy Documentation¶
GitLab is the platform to update our projects documentation process. Documentation really helps you to learn more in detail about what you do. So, any works you do even if its a mistake, Document it!
Mattermost is to communicate with mentors regarding any doubs and help. It also connect you to all the node teammates, you can connet and share your works and thoghts.
Nueval is the evaluation platform
class.textile-academy.org is where you can find all the recordings, tutorials and presentations of all the years. It is really helpful to get start with some referenses.
How your Login works¶
Research
My first step was to look at the previous student's work for reference and learn about the documentation options in Gitlab . Despite my chaotic situation, I was eager to learn and give my best. With the reference and small changes, I finally added the images and details after watching the class recording repeatedly.
Below are some of the basic learnings to work on the documents.

Final Project Initial thoughts¶
At the moment, I have a lot of ideas and thoughts for the final project. Whenever I see something interesting, I feel like learn then and work on it. As a result, I am sure I will work more in fabricademy than I am interested in now, and I may end up doing it completely different.
My mind is always on the subject of wearable art, but I don't think it will give you a quick payoff or mass marketability. However, I may eventually work on it. At the moment, I really like working on what I am interested in.

Generally, I am interested in computational design and transformation fashions. Some of the architectural techniques I've encountered include deployable or reconfigurable structures, kinetic structures and wearable transformation structures etc.
Additionally, I am considering using sustainable or natural materials that are not harmful to the environment. I like the concept of combining futuristic fashion with nature.
Tools I used¶
