Exhibition exploring the common principles that underlie both fashion and architecture
Shigeru Ban, Curtain Wall House - Photo © Hiroyuki HiraiAn exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in Los Angeles running November 19, 2006 through March 5, 2007.
This exhibition explores the common visual and intellectual principles that underlie both fashion and architecture. Both disciplines start with the human body and expand on ideas of space and movement, serving as outward expressions of personal, political, and cultural identity. Architects and fashion designers produce environments defined through spatial awareness—the structures they create are based on volume, function, proportion, and material. Presenting the work of international fashion designers and architects, the exhibition examines themes such as shelter, identity, tectonic strategies, creative process, and parallel stylistic tendencies including deconstruction and minimalism.

As it turns out, I'm a college student spending the month of November at Tate Modern to field study this question of architecture/fashion.
I have been piecemealing sources but wonder if I am missing something big.
Any recommendations?
Thanks
