dc.description.abstract | As a designer, my life experiences have influenced my design
practice. Over the past decade I have moved from one culture to
another and lived through cultural and language adaptations. These
transitions have interested me in the issue of transience and how it
relates to the role of identity, belonging, and living in a society of
global and technological developments.
For the past few years I have been working with the idea of fabrics
merged with architecture and exploring concerns in relation to the
body, memory, temporal, mobility and most recently the environment.
This thesis project evolves around the idea of clothing as portable
body shelter in `you never know WEAR?' situations of local and
global emergencies. Keeping in mind that our lives have become
multi-dimensional and multi-demanding, this work attempts to touch
upon global uncertainties and the relation between shelter and
everyday life.
Transformations brings our individual needs to the basic, everyday
experience of survival and consists of five prototypes: A dress, a skirt,
shorts, a vest and finally a one man tent all via one simple pattern. | en_US |
