Something New at NTU

So, at uni a lot of different things happen and you learn a lot of lessons. Different people have their different niches and at my uni accommodation, The Maltings, the Head of Halls (A-T) and our friends/flatmates like to dip our toes into a little bit of video blogging; documenting what crazy things happen on a day-to-day basis here. Plus it gives me a bit of a chance to, as the Halls Community Rep, bring the Maltings community together in a little bit of fun. Watch this video and enjoy... 

NTU White Project, 'Organic Architecture'

 These are the final photographs from my White Project at NTU. I took my inspiration from 'Organic Architecture' which consists of elements such as nature, natural structures, insects and plants. Through my research I found that through natural structures I related it a lot to protection and the concept of armoury for living things. For instance the bark of a tree offers protection to it as a shell on an insect would. I wanted to create an ideal that the clothes we wear act as a form of protection to our soft and fragile bodies.




From this I then thought of how an insect would have an inner body and then an exoskeleton on the outside. I sourced a stiff Organdie to become my human's 'exoskeleton' and a soft bleached Calico to become the tangible and soft innards.
