Following a brief instructor and course introduction in lecture 1, lecture 2 will introduce you to adaptive design, universal design, and hacked clothing. Lecture 2 will also compare the benefits and challenges of adaptive design. In lecture 3, you will learn the two product development paths for adaptively designed fashion. The first product development path is modifying an existing garment. The second product development path is creating an adaptively designed product through research and development. Split into two parts over the last two lectures, we will cover the considerations to take into account when using adaptive design to create products.
