Shedding the urban skin

Exploring the correlations between weathering and second life. How pattern is evolves through the change of heat and  light.

Shedding the Urban Skin is about innovating new material through the use of ordinary material but with a new insert of innovative
 processes. A visual mean of comfort is created through the natural process of weathering and the change of patterns can be create
 through its surroundings.  This research project involves how layers of pattern can be change through peeling and expand/ contract due
 to the change of temperature.

This project is focused on the how new layers and movement create a new life of patterning. This project has been focuses on the studying
 the nature of crab and how their cycle of shedding is echoing in the man’s world, how blemishes and pollution is forming another layer
 of skin on architectures. the observation is split into three different areas: layers, structures and barnacles/blemishes.

Materials: latex, cellophane, recycle flock, found wall paper
Shedding the urban skin  material collection:
pattern radically changes through the natural process of wear and tear, stretching, peeling and rubbing. A new  layer reveals and
 so as pattern's second life and its second skin.
