Reflection upon Make Flex

Because of the time frame(2 weeks of spring term, Easter break, and 4 weeks of summer term) we were given, I decided to take an approach to this project as ambitious as I can compared to the others I have done so far.  

I think that I had a good starting point into Flex brief, which is any subject or object that is inspired by this single word. The image of Sagrada Familia immediately popped into my head, because I am aware of the fact that we are part of the construction and designing process (realising Gaudi's vision) of a church that holds the equivalent significance as any other great medieval churches. The constant changing condition of the building over time to me is a living example of flexibility. Fortunately, I got to travel to Barcelona to visit the church myself.  Although there were times when I forgot to include the sub-project brief Ted's ten strategies (textile environment design), I managed to design a series of fabric sample and an outcome with elements of sustainability in it. 

I am happy to know that I have learnt a lot about textile design and myself throughout the overall experience. Special thanks to my talented friends chia-hui Liao and Lydia Chang, they made my work come to life. (Oooo the beauty of collaboration!)
