Ideal Workshop for Designers/Researchers of Issey Miyake

第二學期的最後一個案子,由Nancy來幫我們收。很有意思的一個題目,作為三宅一生品牌系列的的studio。基地很小,限制很多。目的是要我們在這樣的條件當中精準再精準。

一開始Nancy不是讓我們直接study ISSEY MIYAKE(三宅一生)的作品,而是先從兩個已經完成的case開始。OMA與Herzog & de meuron兩間分別在soho與Tokyo的PRADA,讓我們瞭解別的設計者是怎麼樣在建構品牌與建築的關係。

Ideal Workshop for Designers/Researchers of Issey Miyake
-understanding space through Issey Miyake’s concepts for textile

"Issey changed the concept of clothing"
"He has a Japanese side to him, but it's very modern, very simple, more futuristic."
– Kenzo

"I would be very happy if it was said of me that I had provided some keys to the 21st century,"
"All I can do is to keep experimenting, keep developing my thoughts further. Certain people think that the definition of design is the beauty of the useful, but in my own work I want to integrate feelings, emotion. You have to put life into it."

"Clothing has been called intimate architecture"
– Issey Miyake


Step One:
1. Divide the class into two teams of two and research Prada Epicenter in SOHO by OMA and Prada Epicenter in Tokyo by Herzog and DeMeuron. Each team is to be responsible for one store; comparison studies between the two stores are to be done by the entire class as one group. Key issues to be addressed are:
l How is PRADA perceived as a brand?
l What is the idea of PRADA perceived by OMA? And how is PRADA store reinterpreted as an Epicenter?
l What are the differences and similarities for Tokyo and Soho stores?
l How are clothing and fashion goods displayed and consumed?
l How does technology play a role in both fashion design and the architecture it entails?
l How do new materials affect architecture in these cases?
l How is the act of shopping changed by the space provided by the new stores?
l What is the relationship between the brand and the architecture in the store?
Step Two:
1. Each student is to choose one of the following brands by Issey Miyake:
l Haat
l ME
l A-POC
l Pleats Please
l Issey Miyake
2. Analyze the design concept for the brand.
3. Interpret the relationship between body and cloth.
4. Understand how art and fashion, nature and technology, innovation and tradition, east and west are represented and translated into the design.
5. Document your research and findings in the forms of diagrams and models.
Step Three
1. Design a 6m x 6m x 6m studio/workshop for the designers of the brand you chose.
2. The studio/workshop need to reflect the spirit of the brand in terms of structural system, material, spatial arrangement, site strategy and etc.
3. Program/spaces necessary for the studio/workshop can be interpreted by each student.
4. The building is to be located along the “Aoyama of Taipei”, a fashion street with a similar atmosphere like Aoyama imagined to be established in Taipei.
