Design de superfície para crochê: uma coleção de padronagens inspiradas na cidade-fábrica de Rio Tinto

Abstract

This work consists of developing a surface design project for crochet based on visual elements identified in the factory city of Rio Tinto, promoting local identity and commerce through crochet artifacts. For this, the methodology used was adapted based on the methodology created by Vasconcelos (2022), with two moments, the First Moment being responsible for the delimitations and deepening of the research, and the Second Moment focusing on the analyses, ideation and final executions of the project. As a result, crochet modules inspired by iconic symbols identified in the city were obtained, repetition patterns developed based on the modules and the guide for applying these materials in crochet. In conclusion, as a final test of the results obtained, a crochet tapestry piece was produced with the presence of the 6 modules arranged in the aligned repetition pattern, translation, proving the functionality and coherence for this work, and thus making it viable to spread the local culture and generate benefits for the territory and its inhabitants.
