Architecture has become a powerful presence in the fashion industry. As the human form is related to fabric and scale, clothing can be interpreted as wearable architecture, designed with the same considerations an architect has for erecting a building in the natural landscape. climate-controlled environments that exchange information with sensors embedded in the environment around them, and create portable emergency dwellings that reconcile both shelter and clothing needs.
