Apple Store – Hangzhou, China, 2015
Norman Foster @FosterPartners

The store – located close to Hangzhou’s West Lake – is a 15-metre-high glazed box boasting a glowing ceiling, a cantilevered floor and glass staircases, and is one of Apple‘s largest retail outlets in Asia. According to Foster + Partners, the design “combines an understanding of the local context with the philosophy of simplicity, beauty and technical innovation that characterises Apple’s products”. via dezeen.com

#DESIGNPROJECT

Zipperbot, 2015
Adam Whiton

Zipperbot, a robotic continuous closure for fabric edge joining, was developed to explore autonomous control of a sartorial gesture and performed as a wearable robot which was evaluated through social interactions. Clothing is a uniquely human pursuit and is nearly universal in its adoption and use. It plays a prominent role in our individual cultures transmitting a mixture of social signals and meanings through the semiotics of fashion. It is through this performance of assemblage of fabric surfaces we reconfigure ourselves and our identities. Merging robotics and fashion within the practice of Sartorial Robotics will enhance the explorations of identities for both humans and robots.
