This is a high level academic source that I found using google scholar. The 6 authors all graduated from college and the text has cited all of its sources. The source was published by the computer graphics journal and is probably intended to be read by other scholars in the fields of fashion design, computer graphics, and virtual simulation. Similar to my other sources, this piece talks about designing within a unique setting with unique constraints. More specifically, this article illuminates a new and improved system for simulating patterns and clothes for virtual characters. The authors explain the systems previous to their own, as well as the problems that designing a realistic virtual garment entails. The article explains in detail how the new system works and which problems they have been able to move past.

This is a high level academic source found using google scholar. The author has written many other papers on topics related to chemistry, engineering, and industrial clothing design. The beginning of this paper specifies that functional clothing design is seperate from artistic clothing design, which among other details helps indicate that this reading is intended for scholars in the STEM areas of study. Unlike the other sources in this bibliography, this is talking about design within the most basic constraints, and without the extra parameters of a zero gravity or virtual space. This article more specifically uses clothing as a base for explaining functionality, and how it can be improved. The article walks through each step of clothing design and talks about how functionality can be improved through iteration

This is a high level academic source found using google scholar. The authors has written many other papers on topics related to chemistry, engineering, and industrial clothing design. This source uses figures and vocabulary similar to that of a chemistry textbook, and is probably intended to be read by a scholar in the fields of chemistry and functional clothing design. Similar to the other articles this shows work done within a unique setting or under unique constraints. In contrast to the other articles talking about much broader topics, this source focuses in on something very specific. Overall the article talks about the effect of yarn linear density in the inner and outer layer of single jersey plated knits on heat and moisture transport and air permeability of resultant fabrics, which simplifies out to the breathability of jersey knits

This source tells the biographical story of Galina Balashova, a Russian architect who was one of the first people to design something that is made to operate outside of the constraints of gravity. This article tells the story of Galina’s childhood, education, and career. I think that this is an important and useful source because Galina Balashova is one of the most important zero gravity designers in history, and a true pioneer.
