We can make lace with machines, very easily, we do it all the time \u0026ndash; but, as yet, machines cannot make three-dimensional lace,\u0026rdquo; she said.\u0026nbsp; This thought process applied\u0026nbsp;to the idea of a post-mastectomy bra, and how craft can be revitalized from what a machine cannot do to enhance user experience.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EGiven that women with a mastectomy have very sensitive skin, \u0026ldquo;About 40 percent of women with a post-mastectomy choose to not have reconstructive surgery,\u0026quot; Marks said.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026quot;Many wear mastectomy bras and external prosthetics that are very heavy and create discomfort. Since seams, underwires, and traditional bras can be uncomfortable, with the Algorithmic Lace bra, you can create a three-dimensional bra that fits the body and honors whatever form the body is.\u0026quot;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe way that the Algorithmic Lace is patterned creates an optical illusion of fullness, so when looking at a mirror there is a sense of symmetry where there isn\u0026rsquo;t, giving women an optimistic start in their new beginning.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe process of creating a custom bra requires the woman to have a 3-D body scan. The scan captures everything from size to depths and a program then takes a basic pattern on lace and morphs it onto the body. The base math can then be edited through the points and lines to make it more or less dense, and fully customized for the woman\u0026rsquo;s comfort.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThere are many design choices that the woman can make. This freedom to decide empowers women. As Marks explained, \u0026ldquo;For instance, some women want it to look more symmetrical, some women may want more dense lace to follow the scar to have the bra express her shape. The pattern is up to women and their design choices.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EWith about six months of aggregated work into the Algorithmic Lace design, Marks now advances to develop working prototypes with mentorship by highly respected world-class design leaders \u0026ndash; and represents Georgia Tech and the United States on a high level. The prototypes will debut on April 8, 2019,\u0026nbsp;during the Milan Design Week, where the Grand Prix winner of the Lexus Design Award 2019 will be announced.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EGiven the decline of different hand-craft skills, and the way that different communities depend on hand-craft, Marks said she believes it is worth thinking about how we can design in ways that are really efficient, modern, and exportable to create jobs in these communities. Marks would like to see the project move forward, even if not manufactured, as a speculative project. One that brings attention to craft revitalization through design. The possibilities of good design are endless.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EMarks integrates\u0026nbsp;craft and parametric modeling leveraging\u0026nbsp;the latest advances in digital technology to produce new historically inspired woven materials.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Industrial Design\u0027s Lisa Marks wins Grand Prix for custom-crafted post-mastectomy bra."}],"uid":"28797","created_gmt":"2019-04-09 15:41:11","changed_gmt":"2019-04-09 20:08:58","author":"Lance Wallace","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2019-04-09T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2019-04-09T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"620252":{"id":"620252","type":"image","title":"Algorithmic Lace","body":null,"created":"1554839350","gmt_created":"2019-04-09 19:49:10","changed":"1554839350","gmt_changed":"2019-04-09 19:49:10","alt":"","file":{"fid":"236159","name":"Algorithmic-Lace-1._cr.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Algorithmic-Lace-1._cr.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Algorithmic-Lace-1._cr.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":51504,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/Algorithmic-Lace-1._cr.jpg?itok=5nxQ2pOp"}},"620254":{"id":"620254","type":"image","title":"Lisa Marks","body":null,"created":"1554840350","gmt_created":"2019-04-09 20:05:50","changed":"1554840507","gmt_changed":"2019-04-09 20:08:27","alt":"","file":{"fid":"236162","name":"LisaMarks_cr.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/LisaMarks_cr.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/LisaMarks_cr.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":3119695,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/LisaMarks_cr.jpg?itok=rBBtmQhJ"}}},"media_ids":["620252","620254"],"related_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/coolhunting.com\/design\/lexus-design-award-2019-winner-lisa-marks-algorithmic-lace\/","title":"Lexus Design Award"}],"groups":[{"id":"1214","name":"News Room"},{"id":"1221","name":"College of Design"},{"id":"1225","name":"School of Industrial Design"}],"categories":[{"id":"129","name":"Institute and Campus"},{"id":"134","name":"Student and Faculty"},{"id":"179356","name":"Industrial Design"}],"keywords":[{"id":"180984","name":"Lisa Marks"},{"id":"3128","name":"Industrial Design"},{"id":"180985","name":"Lexus Design Award"},{"id":"180986","name":"algorithmic lace"},{"id":"180987","name":"bra"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[{"id":"71891","name":"Health and Medicine"}],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003Ealejandra.nash@design.gatech.edu\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["alejandra.nash@design.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"616468":{"#nid":"616468","#data":{"type":"news","title":"Today\u0027s Automated Cities Raise Ethics and Privacy Issues","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EWe\u0026rsquo;ve already seen driverless car experiments, drones surveying highways and disaster sites, e-commerce automated lockers, and digital doorbells monitoring homes.

The ethical implications\u0026nbsp;when considering individuals with disabilities quickly move beyond beneficence, justice, and autonomy to specific concerns of privacy, safety, and informed choice. As we create disruptive, transformational technologies, it is critical that we pause to ensure we have employed an ethical framework throughout each phase of\u0026nbsp;development and deployment so we can design for true inclusion.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EShelden will talk about urban automation from the perspective of the built environment -- buildings, infrastructure and cities \u0026nbsp;\u0026ndash; which is increasingly becoming \u0026ldquo;smart,\u0026rdquo; as physical spaces and devices in these spaces are connected to simulations and data platforms on the cloud. This presents opportunities for improved understanding of the behaviors of built environments and the interactions of occupants in these environments. At the same time, important questions of information, individuality, and culture are becoming more pressing.

I keep raising the question of how people will use their power, their unearned power, to weaken systems of unearned power. I think most white people have been trained to think of themselves as not having much power that they can use towards social change.

If there are many tables to sit at and many chairs, that can make it feel like a cafe or a conversation nook. This makes students mingle more freely with people who do not look like them. In fact, I have come to say to school faculty groups that I believe they must reengineer and reshape the school entrance hall to prevent depression! In addition, I strongly recommend that small classes be configured as a circles with everyone facing each other, rather than having some look at the backs of heads of others, in rows.

The Center moved to the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2010. Center Director Christopher Lee, along with Noel Gregg and other colleagues at UGA, were the inspiration behind AMAC. Gregg worked with AMAC for a few years and has since retired.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EToday AMAC has more than 50 staff members who serve 800 member institutions and hundreds more who use their services on an as-needed basis.
