Inquiry on Interrelationships Between Architecture and Fashion Design

ABSTRACT: This thesis explores the “nature of the relationship” that fashion design and architecture might have. It somehow focuses on the social dimension of architecture and fashion design and how it affects the users in society under the effect of time, technology, art, science and culture. For centuries, both architecture and fashion design have been used by people in order to provide a shelter for themselves. This is the most visible and logical relationship that these two fields share. On the other hand, there are many techniques, concepts and discourses that these two profession share. These techniques are such as folding, pleating, twisting, and many more. In addition, there are many examples that show the effect of one field on the other one. Many architects are inspired by a garment to design a building and it is the same in the other way round. So this study explores if these two fields have any effect on each other; and if they do, how those effects are reflected on the end product. Keywords: Fashion design, architecture, art, aesthetics, design. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
