PROJECT 1 (Weekly Progress)

WEEK 1 (03/04/2023)- (07/03/2023)

Week 1 was the introduction and briefing for Fashion project 1 where we were told that the theme of this semester's project is based on "Organic Geometry: Wearable Architecture"

I knew for this project that I had to find a building that will really inspire me throughout the whole semester and will keep my ideas creative.

Thus I made sure I do my research through books and people who are knowledgeable in the Architecture field. I finally got a recommendation for my building inspiration by a friend who graduated from Bachelors in Interior Architecture.

LIBRARY RESEARCH:

After researching on the design language that I wanted to work on, and looking into different Architects, my friend finally recommended me Frank Gehry. The reason why this architect was recommended was because of his post modern, deconstructive style. (Building chosen: Museum of Pop Culture)

During the first week we also had to present out mind mapping to my lecturer in order to display our initial inspiration before moving forward with the designing process.

For the mind mapping task, we were required to furthermore do more extensive research about the building for us as students to extract ideas.

During the first week we also had to start working on our conceptual story and do further research about my portfolio for the designing process.

week 2 (10/04/2023)- (14/04/2023)

By week 2, we needed to work on the mind-mapping and the mood board of this project. Through the research of what architectural building we wanted to work on, I had an idea and a vision on what i wanted to do.

FABRIC MANIPULATION AND SAMPLINGS

Since i already knew what was the building I am going to work on, I decided to work on my fabric manipulation and sampling. I went for fabric shopping in KL, where I could explore some colors of the fabrics available, the texture and the feel of it. I eventually bought some samples to work on.

Week 3 (17/04/23)- Week 4 (28/04/23)(PUBLIC HOLIDAY-eid)

EXPLORATION OF FABRIC MANIPULATION AND SAMPLING

+ INITIAL IDEA DEVELOPMENT

I also started to work on my moodboard during those weeks.

WEEK 5 (01/05/23)-(05/05/23)

By week 5, i started working on my design development, I did so by doodling on my existing initial idea development. The process was made by printing the initial idea development and eventually drawing outlines and coloring them all manually.
