Canvas 201_Case Study
From Surface Structure to Spatial System
1.Figure Caption
Canvas 201 demonstrates an embroidery structure defined by angle and length control. Through radial paths and node convergence, a three-dimensional spatial model emerges, marking a transition from planar structures to spatial systems.
2.Key Insight
Embroidery is no longer limited to surface patterns.
Through coordinate control, embroidery can generate three-dimensional structures.
Canvas 201 shows that:
✦Embroidery can describe space
✦Structures can have depth
✦Paths can control spatial form
3.Coordinate System
The structure is based on: Angle + Length control
Each stitch represents:✦A direction (θ)✦A distance (r)
form:Polar coordinate system
4.Structural Formation
Early Stage
✦Initial radial units
✦Directional setup
Middle Stage
✦Multi-angle expansion
✦Increasing node interaction
Late Stage
✦Layered structure emerges
✦Spatial convergence forms a core
5.3D Convergence Structure
Paths converge toward a center, not on a flat surface, but:Within spatial depth，This creates:
✦A three-dimensional core
✦Multi-directional tension
✦Structural balance
6.Layered Depth
Color is not decorative, but:A depth encoding system
✦Yellow: front / upper layer
✦Dark green: back / lower layer
✦Light green: transitional layer
form:A layered spatial structure
7.Embroidery Grammar (3D)
| Level | Definition |
| Coordinate | Angle + length |
| Direction | Radial control |
| Layer | Spatial depth |
| Convergence | Spatial Convergence |
| Structure | 3D model |
| system | Spatial embroidery system |

Evolution:2D Structure → 3D Spatial System
9.Conclusion
Canvas 201 demonstrates:Embroidery can evolve from planar structures into spatial systems
Through coordinate-based stitching, it can generate:
✦Spatial structures
✦Depth layers
✦Three-dimensional models
This marks the emergence of: Embroidery as a spatial language
