The document discusses soft wearables and sustainable design. It addresses moving from product-focused to service-focused wearables and exploring interactions between garments and the body. The document outlines workshops held in various locations to design soft, interactive textiles through hands-on experimentation with materials like heat and vibration. It reflects on balancing craft and technology, functionality and aesthetics, and moving beyond binary design frameworks through an intentional, transformative process.
