ARCHITECTURE+FASHION
CASE STUDY
Zaha Hadid’s buildinginspired by one of her fashiondesign
Zaha is an example of designers who work in fashion as well as architecture whereby
herfashion sometimes inspires her architecture as well as her architecture influences her
fashion.The building image above was inspired by the flowing mesh dress from her
fashion playbookcalled frozen aura and it was because she wanted to help raise money for
a foundation knownas the world wildlife foundation. The dress was her muse for the
famous ThyssenKruppbuilding.
The building façade depicts the dress pattern but with an additional element design
to it whereby the pattern of the mesh creates the opening for the windows of the
structure.The nature of the fabric allows light to pass through it thus making it
very transparent to thepublic eyes.
This is glaring in the building façade whereby the openings in the buildingtransmit
light into the building giving the building a transparent appearance. The
fluiditynature of the dress can be seen in the form of the structure and also the
way the buildings arearranged to one another.
CONCLUSION
Certain elements and details in both architecture and fashion tend to become the useful
ideaand inspiration behind the fashion designers clothing and accessories and also the
architectsbuilding design. Although both architecture and fashion are structured,visual
and art inappearance.
This research on the connection of both worlds has shown that there might be
somepossibility in the future in this new method of design
