Patrones inspirados en la flora medicinal nativa de la provincia del Cañar e implementación en vasos de vidrios reciclados.

Abstract

The objective of this project was to design patterns inspired by the native medicinal flora of the Cañar Province to be implemented in glass cups from recycled bottles. It began with field research through interviews with people from the town and surroundings, who practice natural medicine either because of their studies or knowledge acquired from generation to generation. The photographic record helped to generate a repertoire of photographs of each of the plants mentioned by the interviewees. The classification of the plants that were candidates to generate patterns was under a system of the most named by naturopathic doctors, frequency of use by clients, and the best condition for their morphological extraction. Give way to the application of morphological extraction, analysis, and modularity files, where the most representative features of each plant are extracted. With Adobe Illustrator design software each sketch was vectorized based on an already defined grid to obtain an alphanumerical ordered directory of each plant pattern. Using the Processing program made it easy to create each resulting design based on a chronological order going in any programmed direction. It is concluded that a modular pattern can be of any nature as long as it has a good morphological composition for its extraction, it is also recommended that before carrying out the projects and the use of software, work with already defined sketches for its best application.
