birth-place: Tokyo (Japan)
Summary

Sozo Hashimoto investigates the possibilities of computer technology and employing the insights that he gains in his work as a designer – from this time onwards, he has used the computer systematically for his graphic designs.

Hashimoto’s driving vision has been the possibility of building up close communication between the designer and the computer. The development of the programmes Computer Aided Pattern Design (1967) and Computer Aided Fashion Design (1968) made this vision appear increasingly feasible, as manual processes were not only automated by means of the interaction between man and machine, but also made easier; thus creating preconditions for computer-driven production processes.
