Patrones fractales basado en la carludovica palmata (paja toquilla). Aplicación en sombreros de paja toquilla.

Abstract

The main objective of this technical project was to design fractal patterns based on the species Carludovica Palmata (toquilla straw) from Manabí Province through the Andean Fractal Design Method to apply it to toquilla straw hats. Methodologically, a photographic record of three sample species was carried out to fit them into a tertiary harmonic crosslinked with their respective measurements. Afterward, the analysis of the proportional calculation and fractal vector scheme of each of the segments of the species (plant, leaf, inflorescence, and flower) to obtain the sample with the best proportional characteristics, which determined that sample two is a suitable option to carry out the process of generating fractal patterns, due to its approximation to the Andean proportion (it is closer to the mean and ratio). When obtaining the selected sample, vectorization, botanical illustration, and the abstraction process with its qualitative and quantitative variables were fulfilled without the species losing its basic shape, then biomorphic analysis was carried out using the compositional categories. Finally, the modules and macro modules created to generate fractal patterns will be applied to the toquilla straw hat. In turn, the validation was carried out, resulting in the designed ways being well received by the public and accepted when applied to the toquilla straw hat. It is recommended to use this method with other species from Manabí province to explore and obtain new graphic proposals.
