'New Skins is a three-week intensive interdisciplinary research project where students and professionals in the fashion, art, architecture and computing industries join forces to design and fabricate second skins for the human body. Computational systems will be developed alongside material systems that can be deployed as wearable objects.. Core77 has had the pleasure of chronicling the workshop led by designer Francis Bitonti, which took place from July 22 to August 8 at Pratt\'s Digital Arts and Humanities Research Center in Brooklyn, NY, with additional support from Makerbot and 3D NYC Lab. As a pioneer in the digital fashion design space, Bitonti\'s practice is primarily concerned with the wearable applications of computationally-based design methodologies and cutting-edge manufacturing technologies. His efforts in the classroom are an extension of his work in the studio, a fast-paced, process-centric approach to new and emerging technologies and their potential to yield never-before-scene results.
