Abstract

Complexity is a property with emerging recognition within the sciences, and its presence is increasingly valued in the development of interdisciplinary projects. Trying to deal with evolutionary principles and the rules of organization of complex systems, complexity theory carry concepts that can bring innovations to the area of design with methods of composition of shapes and geometries. In this scenario, surface design is a specialty that can benefit from these new processes, especially with the advancement of digital technologies and the use of computational algorithms. Seeking to understand the importance of complexity for the design of complex surfaces, this work investigates the relationship of data programming with the design methodologies involved. Through a case study, were analyzed projects involving the development of textile design with pattern principles, establishing the connection of two-dimensional and three-dimensional surfaces with complex systems and the use of algorithmic programming software, such as Processing and the Grasshopper. As a consequence of the research, were also performed experiments that reproduced some algorithms for pattern design. In this way, the project covers new ways of improving surface design and establishes parameters for the use of new digital processes. (AU)
