The Ports 1961 and Archi-Tectonics collaboration intends to blur the boundary between the two levels of practice that each undertakes. Ports 1961 (fashion), through the development of personal garments, works on the most intimate scale possible, the most inherent and essential form of protection and expression that one can experience, and also the most publicly accessible, whereas Archi-Tectonics (architecture) develops structures that protect masses and form part of the larger landscape and ultimately the expression and identity of an entire area and/or city. Both create a mediating layer between the body and the environment and both express personal, social and cultural identity. Therefore it can be realized that these forms of practice are both inherent in the development of a ‘better city, a better life’.
