Paper Dress Project - The Start of It!

I have based my research and inspiration in the shapes and forms of Sculpture and Architecture

 

 These are photographs by Werner Schnell, I have tried to know a bit more about him or the sculptures but no luck on information.

I have also looked at this amazing sculpture by Tonkin Liu Architects.

This is a musical sculpture by Tonkin Liu architects outside of the city of Burnley in northern England. When the wind whips through the galvanized steel pipes, it sounds like whale song. Amazing

This Biomorphic Buildings were created by the Design team Chimera. They conceived  an incredible series of spiraling skyscrapers for New York’s Hudson Yards.The skyscraper’s structure is modeled after mangrove trees, spiraling plant growth patterns, and the interaction of natural ecosystems.

 Named Mangal City, the project is an “urban ecological system” composed of modular pod capsules that shift to adapt to environmental and contextual conditions.

The project was designed by Pierandrea Angius, Alkis Dikaios, Thomas Jacobsen, and Carlos Parraga-Botero and is a thesis proposal for the Masters of Architecture in Parametric Urbanism program at the AASchool of Architecture in London. According to the designers, “our vision is to define an urban ecosystem which supports housing and cultural programs and has the ability to adapt, transform, mutate and adjust according to the specific urban and social character of the site

Then I have started to experiment with 1/4 scale model

Drawing the pattern into card

This will be the base of the dress. A one-shoulder, knee length dress.
