All I Want For Christmas Is An Architect Outfit!

Next year is my 8th year studying and working in the architecture field, 8 years of bullshitting and suffering is one hectic journey. Quite a number of my friends asked me, is the course rewarding? Well, I believe the question is very subjective and might vary from person to person, again, it really depends on how you use your new found knowledge, as for me, it does have an impact on me and they way I look at cities, society and not to mention anything related to art and design.

8 Years is too long, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, I am proud to present Corbs Junior the instant architect, your solution to the long and winding architecture journey:

Although there are several different ‘types’ of architect who will wear a gamut of styles, many of them do find themselves at some time or other in their career dressed in black! This outfit comprises a black polo neck with a black designer suit with ‘nehru’ style collar formed from exquisite materials. The glasses are included as a reference to Le Corbusier who remains a design icon for many. Source: The Toy Factory

For 35 pound, you can be Le Corbusier Junior for this coming Christmas, what amazed me is the architect’s costume which cost the same as a high court judge, more than a barrister, an English knight, a Warrior, Robin Hood or any other character. Which kid would want to dress up as an architect? For the same amount of money, one could purchase two different fairytale outfits. Unless, kids too find that being an architect is sexy.

If 35 Pound is way beyond your budget, try this, its free, yes, its Le Corbusier again, possibly the greatest architect ever. You know, his outfit does resemble Harry Potter’s outfit.

Black, black, black, Rumors had it that Zaha Hadid dress in nothing but black outfit, is it true? As for me? I prefer jeans and t-shirts, simple and cozy. More on Architects and fashion at Battle of the Architects.

Nests Imperial or Fashionably Feathered

A room in the building at 20 Pine Street, Armani/Casa, pictured in a sales brochure, has an oak table and cabinets, all by Armani/Casa. Joining the ranks of the interior-designer-branded residences in New York–Phillipe Starck-designed apartments in Lower Manhattan, and the Peter Marino’s residences uptown are fashion-designer-branded residences.

At 485 Fifth Avenue, the fashion designer Peter Som lent his name and a pattern from one of his spring dresses.

The runway, designed by Armani/Casa, the interior design arm of the Armani empire, is the centerpiece not of a fashion showroom but of an 8,000-square-foot sales office for the building, a condominium conversion with 409 units that will go on sale this month. Armani/Casa designed both the public spaces and the apartments in the Zen-rigorous Armani aesthetic, with massive clean-lined furnishings and earth and fog colors that wash like a tide over the public spaces.

If by “we” we include “architects”. Architecture could use a little more looking-good, a good branding and marketing campaign, something popular yet glamorous, to sell good architecture to a wider audience.
