Designing through the medium of garment construction alleviates architecture from typical constraints, and this two-part project makes realizations of new discoveries and repositions them within the framework of architecture. This garment observes the human figure as the initial blueprint and begins to reshape parts of the whole through elongation. Focus areas include the hips, neck, and arms. To further enhance this effect, each garment contains tapered extensions that reduce the blunt edge and woven frames serve as a method of blurring the boundary between human profile and extension. Drawing from the traditional garment boning technique of sewing plastic into fabric, this design contains multiple frames of MDF fabricated to withstand the tension created by woven carbon fiber threads, Bold color is explored as a blocking technique for highlighting the separation between human figure and intervention, drawing attention to the elongation of areas not dictated by fabric.

Learning from this garment design, the next phase of this study uses pavilion as medium to expand on found material and spatial possibilities. It expands upon a discourse surrounding the relationship of structure to envelope, pushing for a flexible facade skin that operates autonomously and prioritizes atmospheric qualites of light and color.
