Abstract

The successive crises and economic changes that keep pace with our contemporary Arab world have led to the necessity of activating the economic role of plastic and applied arts in their integration to contribute to achieving the sustainable development that our societies aspire to, as recycling is considered one of the most important factors in reducing waste by reducing the use of raw materials, which in turn leads to Reducing energy consumption and environmental pollution, as well as aiming at environmental sustainability by replacing the inputs of raw materials and redirecting waste outputs outside the economic system. . With the continuous development in the field of print design in general, and the design of printing women’s fabrics in particular, we can employ and use recycling mechanisms. Rotation in artistic designs developed in an innovative way, and the correct and organized exploitation of the thought and methodology of design with its various components and elements results in non-traditional design solutions. And from here came the idea of researching the application of recycling as a systematic design strategy to develop the creative thinking of the students of the first year in the design systems subject, as its use contributed to expanding their horizons and abilities and showing their artistic creativity and reducing time, effort and money, which contributes to the development of academic education and Creating innovative designs suitable for printing women's fabrics in keeping with international fashion trends, and from here the research problem appears, which can be summarized in an attempt to answer the questions: How to benefit from recycling waste and waste as a strategy in designing women's fabric printing? How to create design elements and vocabulary from natural elements and environmental waste and treat them technically and graphically to be suitable for the design of printing women's fabrics? How can a textile print design designer employ the mechanisms of recycling with her own visual and interactive design for contemporary ladies' textile print design?
