Faculty of Architecture //a workshop embedded in the class by Prof. Sasa Lada and Aleka Alexopoulou in collaboration with Asterios Agkathidis

Fashion design and clothes - their fabrication techniques, the play with a variety of materials and the characteristics of textiles are closely related to the production of space and architecture. As well as in architecture, fashion creates a second skin that can adapt to the human body - depending on its programming this skin changes. In terms of spatial organization we can learn many things from techniques that are used by fashion designers. Within the scope of the workshop individual formdefining design strategies should be developed in order to generate innovative spatial concepts. Essential to this processs is the exploration of materialites of spatial models and a systematic development of its geometry during the design process. Both physical and digital models should be organisatorial systems that are developed through diagrammatic thinking and therfore are able to densify strategic and tactial information.
