What is my Titus project about? I know I have disparate ideas I can link together, but I'm not sure they really "fit" the criteria... it sounded like he wanted the name of a person who acts as a link between some field of art and architecture. I can't find anything like that connecting architecture and fashion designers. The two fields seem to have great deal of respect for one another, but not much understanding or overlap. They are definitely separate spheres of people.
I know what I want to talk about. I'd like to bring up the spatial and texture ideas that are similar and viewed differently for architects and fashion designers. Also, maybe touch on structural ideas and how they relate to form. The body concept will also be weighted heavily in the discussion. The way we use and understand the body are completely different. The architect is designing for space far outside of the body, and yet we are concerned a great deal about what goes on in people's inner dialogues - how do we create safe spaces? welcoming spaces? usable spaces? Whereas the fashion designer is designing close to the body - literally on the surface that links the outer human to the inner dialogues, and yet they are so focused on the movement and volume of each piece... and maybe miss the human as a whole? I'd also like to explore the concept of idea turnover time in architecture and fashion, how in fashion ideas can turnover in a matter of days, whereas architecture ideas progress very slowly. How then, can we look back on the fashions of the time - in both attire and architecture - and be able to pinpoint them to specific time periods? Both fashion and architecture are expressed in similar, overall idea turnovers and yet fashion can run through many more ideas than architecture.
I guess this is a good start to a discussion on these two topics... I just hope it will sound intelligent and interesting to the class/ Titus and not arbitrary and superfluous. Ahh, well I mostly just hope to get through this week...
