Thesis (M.Arch.)--University of Calgary (Canada), 1999.

This Master's Degree project is an investigation into the conceptual strategies of fashion, their subsequent cultural implications, and their potential as a foundation for architecture. The critical essay establishes a theoretical platform for the architectural design, it proposes that in the era of mass media, it is impossible to produce an architecture independent of the mechanisms of fashion. Moreover, it suggests that a reconceptualization of the role of fashion within the discipline of architecture is a necessary pre-requisite to establishing a modern practice. Fashion, when defined as the deliberate construction of desire, becomes about creation as opposed to application. In this way, fashionable architecture results from the synergistic operation of the many conditions of fashion and not from the adornment--- or dressing up---of surfaces. The design component is a proposal for a signature line of architecture entitled the mobius HOME COLLECTION. The four small, ready-made houses conceptually transform the nature of architecture from an elite service to a mass marketed product. As a fashion, each house becomes a desirable commodity, is representative of a particular lifestyle and constructs individual and collective identities. Architecturally, they attempt to express an enduring modernity: both timely and timeless.
