BHM CO\\ABORATIVE LABORATORY:
is an award-winning interdisciplinary design and research initiative within the Birmingham School of Architecture & Design. We create and co-produce projects that engage with the dynamic context of our city and explore the extremities of artistic disciplinary boundaries – all through an ongoing process of collaborative practice
In the second workshop we were introduced to another group of fashion students and customised an existing garment. We used techniques that are popular in Japanese fashion, making an incision and adding a contrasting piece of fabric. The outcome was very interesting and gave the simple shirt that we used a new lease of life.
The process of respectfully adding to an existing design calls to mind parallels within architecture in the realm of extensions or renovation projects.
