Introduction

The series of Fashion in Architecture is aimed to interpret architecture in fashion language, push forward the cross-border dialogue between architecture and fashion as well as their collision spark, and present a more authentic visual feast for the readers. This series is composed of several books, each focusing on a different architectural façade material, including metal, wood, glass, concrete, ceramics, plastic. Each book includes around 20 latest and most gorgeous architectural projects from the world, introducing their façade materials, techniques and artistic features. Meanwhile, each project is illustrated with a fashion design sketch. Architecture is thus interpreted in fashion language and thus a series of spectacular “fashion shows” of architecture is unfolded before our eyes.
