Structural Intervention and Forming in Woven Fabrics: Structural Weft and Warp Manipulation Methods
Öz
Design diversity in woven fabrics is achieved not only through color, texture, finishing processes, weave structure, raw material properties, and weaving technique, but also through structural interventions that impart relief effects, volume, and dimensionality to the fabric. The aim of the study is to expand the framework that is commonly limited to manipulations applied to fabrics after production through methods such as sewing, dye-printing, bonding, and burning, so as to also include structural manipulations that occur during the weaving process. In the study, the tools and methods of structural intervention are addressed under three categories: mechanical arrangements carried out on the weaving loom and its components, physical interventions applied to the material during the weaving process, and structural shaping processes performed after weaving. In this context, weaving reeds designed in different forms and placed on the loom are observed to stand out. These interventions affect the visual quality of the fabric, the mode of implementing the design, the amount of waste, and the shaping of the product in accordance with its intended function. The studies examined were classified under three categories with the support of visual examples and evaluated in terms of sustainability, waste generation, slow fashion, labor-intensive production processes, and their potential contribution to industrial production.
