Parametric Fashion × Body Architecture × Speculative Design

CliMoDe is a transscalar design studio taught in the Bachelor of Design in City Innovation (BDCI) at the University of Calgary,, where fashion is treated as body architecture, a computational interface between the body and its environment.

Working across Rhino, Grasshopper, and Blender, students develop parametric systems that generate wearable forms as responsive skins: filtering, adapting, and performing in relation to climate, data, and atmosphere.

Positioned between fashion, architecture, and technology, the studio operates through speculative design, using narrative and world-building as drivers for form. In this framework, garments are not styled, they are constructed as systems, emerging from imagined conditions and fabricated through digital processes.

CliMoDe frames wearable design as infrastructure: precise, adaptive, and embedded within larger ecological and technological contexts.
