(Things we're doing and stuff we like)

Skin and Bones explores the growing overlap between fashion and architecture, the basic idea is that both buildings and clothing are a means to protect the body, but this exhibit discusses how designers and architects have gone further utilising today’s advances in technology and fabrics. Several designers really stand out in communicating this message such as Hussein Chalayan with the convertible skirt/table and Shigeru Ban Architects with the Curtain Wall House in Tokyo. It is amazing to think what we could be wearing or living in, in a few years time.
