Book Info: The first comprehensive examination of the many overlaps and visual and intellectual principles that unite fashion and architecture.In recent years, the boundaries between architecture and fashion have become increasingly blurred, and this beautifully illustrated new book explores the intersections and concepts that underlie the two disciplines. Both architecture and fashion are based on the human body and on ideas of space, volume, and movement. Each functions as shelter or wrapping for the bodya mediating layer between the body and the environmentand can express personal, political, and cultural identity. Fashion designers and architects share much of the same vocabulary and similar techniques of construction: pinning, darting, folding, wrapping, draping. Fashion designers have always been able to achieve complex, often architectonic garments using fabric. Today, many architects are looking to fashion and techniques of tailoring as they attempt to achieve more and more complex forms using hard materials.The book focuses on the period 1980 to the present and includes forty-six architects and fashion designers from the United States, Europe, and Japan. The featured designers include Issey Miyake, Junya Watanabe, Alexander McQueen, Hussein Chalayan, and Vivienne Westwood, among others. The architects include Herzog & de Meuron, Zaha Hadid, Frank Gehry, and Eisenman Architects. 530 illustrations, 500 in color. -- Customer Review -- FYI...you can still purchase this book online (or in person) at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angelos brand new for 85.00. Unfortunately theres a 20$ shipping fee plus tax brought the total to 113.something. But that still beats 194 by 80$. I know its still not that cheap but it is better. Just a heads up for all the hungry art lovers out there.P.S when you find a book on here you must have but dont like the inflated price, try finding out who the publisher is and check their site, sometimes the book is still available for the original price. -- Customer Review -- If you are interested in alternative views on architecture, especially on the subject of skin in architeture, skin+bones is a great exemple. The exposition as well as the book cover a long period in the history of modern fashion and architecture in order to portrait all those who change the way we conceive both architecture and clothing.Amazon is a great way to purchase books which are rare in you region and sometimes even less expensive. skin+bones arrived on time and in great condition, new as descibed.
