Fashioning Architecture: Architecture of a Fashion House

This project incorporates the relationship of fashion and architecture. In major fashion houses currently, architects are becoming an essential element. Their involvement in projects as creative directors is becoming highly prized in the industry. They are increasingly trusted to take the lead and direct the artistic components. In this project thesis I weave fashion into architecture by researching the design of the fashion house, Missoni and drawing from my experience in both fields / Master of Architecture / As I began the academic year leading to my thesis, I started my research by several explorative drawings - fragments of future design - weaving my building. Architecture and fashion play a core role in my life. Architecture is a strong influence as a native Athenian in the hellenic environment. Fashion has been my work field. I considered how all these elements can compose the ideal space for a fashion house.
Architecture and fashion are getting closely related in the development of our era. Both pursue beauty, symmetry, comfort, success and popularity from humans. The clothes can be the surface and the material of our buildings. Missoni's colorful threads (the structure) are perfectly woven to create knitwear that protects and covers the human skin. Similarly, this space was woven into its site and guided by my research.
This book follows an accurate chronological order of my thought and design process till the very end.
