Office of Metropolitan Architecture (OMA)
Well known architecture firms- such as Office for Metropolitan
Architecture (OMA)/Rem Koolhaas, Herzog & de Meuron, and Future Systems,
among others- to design their retail spaces has demanded that the architects
carefully study the work of their clients. In the case of Koolhaas’s design for
Prada, his firm’s in-depth research covered everything from clothing
construction to mechanisms of display and even global distribution and
branding. Second, as architects have moved away from freehand drawing and model
making toward increasingly sophisticated design software to generate more
complex architecture forms, they have looked to fashion for inspiration- in
particular, its methods of construction and its manipulation of plat, almost
two dimensional cloth. Yes, Fashion has a long history of dealing with the
kinds of complex forms and constructions that architects are now able to
confront thanks to advancements in software and building materials.
