Fashion and Architecture

It seems that the relationship between Fashion and Architecture is getting stronger in these days. Due to the development of structural engineering, buildings can be more radical and organic surface like wearing clothes. The exhibition "SKIN+BONES" at Somerset House focuses on the common points and the relationship between Fashion and Architecture; both clothing and building have the function of shelter, geometrical surface, structural skin, volume and identity, and so on. I am always inspired by Toyo Ito's works as they are well considered the character of surrounding environment. In my opinion. the difference between Fashion and Architecture is personality or publicity. Buildings need to be careful when choosing clothing, as they could made an enormous impact on the surroundings.
