Engaging with the future possibilities of customisation in fashion industry through the employment of 3d printing technology, this project proposes a new typology of shopping and research complex. To discuss the relationship between designers and users, a ‘catwalk’ passes through the whole building, which weakens the distinction of identity between designers, users and models. 

Porous: The way how visitors penetrate the building is a metaphor for the way users can penetrate the design process in future fashion industry. 
Engawa: The interface between exterior and interior spaces, allowing transition and connection between the two extremes. This gap between two spaces forms an interchange of attention between two spaces, and therefore, acting as a Japanese form of catwalk.
