This is a piece I made for a Green Fashion competition. It is a dress inspired by Vivienne Westwood's experimental and fragmented garments. I looked at the relationship between nature and the urban environment by researching the overlapping structure of leaves and plant life, as well as the deconstructivist style of fashion during the 1980s. The dress was upcycled from old school uniforms.
Tadao Ando's Church of the Light is an extremely interesting architectural creation as his use of plain concrete in a place of worship is surprisingly warmed by the manipulation of light through spaces. It seems to possess a very ethereal atmosphere.
This is a photo I took when my uncle took me to the new Sumida Hokusai Art Museum in Tokyo which he was the construction consultant for. This building was designed by Kazuyo Sejima. I love her architectural philosophy and sophisticated modernist style, but also her individuality and mental fortitude as being one of the few female 'starchitects'. My uncle explained how structurally complex the building was to achieve in a construction point of view as the asymmetricality of the glass planes made it hard to visualise the building using only 2D floor plans, which is why multiple 3D models had to be made.
