Análisis biomorfico del cacao del cantón Joya de los Sachas aplicada al diseño de bordados.

Abstract

The proyect´s purpose was to create design patterns based on the boimorphic analysis of the Theobroma cacao (cocoa) species from La Joya de los Sachas town to contribute to the work of “Luchadoras del Sacha” Women’s Association. Developing the Andean fractal design method was used, beginning with the recording and photographic collection of three samples. The next step is a vectorization of the samples to move on the proportional analysis by fitting under the binary harmonic proportional system; the proportional ratios were obtained, showing the tree and leaf of sample number three are the closest to the mean, after this, the vectorial scheme of the spatial intervals of leaves growth of and ribs was used, these values confirmed the choice of sample number three already chosen in the proportional calculation; The botanical drawing of sample the rams and leaf segments was made using the acrylic technique; the product of the abstraction process (PPA) was obtained by simplifying elements of the vectorized segments of the sample, this result opened morphological possibilities from the quantitative and qualitative variants; biomorphic analysis continued using compositional categories. We proceed to the creation of macro modules and the formation of design patterns to continue with the validation of the proposals. The first pattern was selected, then five prototypes were created digitally, and a line of lingerie for the home was made so the Sacha Women’s Fighters Association, which was tangible. It concluded that the patterns made comply with the parameters of the design and are adaptable to various supports. It is recommended to consider the cultural legacy through fractal geometry, for the approach to new embroidery patterns on technical textiles.
