Fashion Architecture

These are a few designs that I find interesting involving FASHION AND ARCHITECTURE!

The Bold shapes and contours of the material used, causes it to become an amazing design,which could be referred back to as architecture. I see great potential in these designs for future sky scrapers, or any building for that matter.

Art Gallery

A brief description of my Art Gallery design:


I designed this Art Gallery with the concept of a "mouse" in mind, hence the three circles you see from a birds eye view.


The circles enabled me to divide the Art Gallery into three parts, and gave the space more definition when deciding what went where.


I used check blocks as part of the theme I was going for in other words, all surfaces like the front desk even the store room and bathroom walls were covered in check blocks. I feel because it was quite a large space I could use such a busy texture on the surfaces. I love my design it's really different, completely made of glass and I beams, besides the roof.


At the entrance you will see a glass circle with fish in water below, this is the statement piece in my gallery, along with my glass bridge crossing over the pond and into the Art Gallery.


I used various types of aluminum's and metals for the roof.  Theres so much more to this design.

Recyclable Table Design

This Table I designed with old scrap wood that I found laying in the yard, used milk cartons, and fur that I bought at the shop, for a low cost, along with drawing pins that I found in the store room, and a bamboo stick I saw laying around. I used contact glue that I found in the garage to glue everything.


The 2 details above the table are a different type if milk carton, with wool rapped around it, and flowers cut out from the milk carton for decoration.


Have a closer look at my design.

My Four favorite Architects 3.1 of 4

Le Corbusier as An Architect

Le Corbusier created the concrete structure called the domino effect, this movement is being used more today than ever before, as it can be seen in almost all skyscrapers and other modern buildings being built. Le Corbusier has set a trend that will be implemented for many many more years still to come...See below a few examples of his work.

Cuboid High Court Building

Le Corbusiers Indian Masterpiece-Chandigarh is stripped for parts 

Tadao Ando-"Entering a building requires an act of will and an awareness for the architecture". 

The light penetrating through the church.

If you have a closer look you can see how Tadao has designed this circle so that when light penetrates through you can see the ripples of texture on the surface.

Le Corbusier-Domino Effect Structure


" Le Corbusier was one of Tadao's greatest influences growing up. Le Corbusier used concrete wall and believed in illumination"

"Walls are the most basic elements of Architecture, and in all my work, light is an important factor."
