THE CONCEPT inital research shows the contrast between nature and modern architecture. Through the growing population more and more houses are being built. this is affecting nature and loosing vast amounts of land. Also is it possible for these steel man made buildings to be sustainable?
Forests cover 31% of the land area on our planet. They produce vital oxygen and provide homes for people and wildlife.
Architecture has evolved over the years, this drawing suggests the detail that used to go into the designs of buildings, compared to now when the trend is to be slick and smooth.
Initial Research
UK children are losing contact with nature at a "dramatic" rate, and their health and education are suffering, a National Trust report says.
Nature and architecture are both extremely different, the modern architecture world is very straight and angular and doesn’t tend to vary in colours, apart from a dull grey. Whereas nature is free flowing and varies in a vast amount of colours.
Lingerie Research
USING LINGERIE AS A THEME, WHICH CAN VARY FROM UNDERWEAR TO NIGHTWEAR. REASEARCHING INTO DIFFERENT TYPES OF LINGERIE AND DIFFERENT SILHOUETTES. LEARNING ANd UNDERSTANDing OF HOW LINGERIE IS MADE TO LOOK FEMININE AND MAKE WOMEN FEEL GOOD Also noticing how currently in trend is delicate little triangle bras.
Once a forest is lost to agriculture, it is usually gone forever - along with many of the plants and animals that once lived there.
PHOTOGRAPHY LOOKING INTO THE NATURAL SIDE OF THE CONCEPT AS THERE IS A LOT MORE CHARACTERISTICs TO BE SHOWN THROUGH NATURE. there is also a lot of textures that could affect the materials used.
Back to basics
Photograph digitally manipulated
There is no substitute for what takes place outdoors; not least because the greatest joys of nature are unscripted.
FROM THE IMAGERY IT WAS CLEAR THAT FOCUSING ON NATURE and using lingerie as a theme it could DEVELOP INTO PRINT DESIGNS. INITIALLY USING HAND DRAWINGS AND THEN DIGITALLY MANIPULATING PHOTOGRAPHS.
DEVELOPING THE PRINTS FURTHER FROM DRAWINGSt now USING hand print with FOUND NATURE OBJECTS SUCH AS, LEAVES, TWIGS, FLOWERS AND RASPBERRIES. The prints sometimes created a print inside itself through the natural textures of the materials used.
Print Developments
Final Prints
FINAL PRINTS CREATED from INITIAL HAND PRINTs AND then later DIGITALLY MANIPULATED. THE COLOUR SCHEME WAS CHOSEN THROUGH PRIMARY RESEARCH DRAWINGS, ALSO KEEPING THE COLOUR SCHEME LIGHT ANd NEUTRAL with a dash of bold colours. From using natural objects to create prints it has given the prints delicate characteristics, like nature itself.
Final line up Taking the final print designs and showing them on a variety of lingerie designs. Through initial research the Lingerie designs could be extremely structured with bold lines, the declicate characteristics of the prints is contrasted with the bold lines that are being used in modern architecture designs.
