Fashion and Architecture

In recent years, connections between fashion and architecture have become increasingly apparent. Both garments and buildings protect and shelter the body while providing a means to express identity. Fashion and architecture is the use of geometry to generate form.Designers in both fields have recently begun to develop structural skins that incorporate the bones, or structure, into the surface of a building or a garment. In recent years, architects have adopted techniques such as printing, pleating, folding, draping, and weaving to develop more complex exterior surfaces, or skins, for their buildings while fashion designers have looked to architecture for ways to construct clothes with greater volume and inherent structural integrity.
