What impact does technology have on fashion and architecture?

Arguments have come about which state that technology is one of the main reasons why fashion and architecture collide.

Fashion designers are able to branch out more and are not just restricted to the space around a person’s body. Also, architects are able to create structures that are not of an enormous size. 

Technology has given architects the ability to work on a much smaller scale using material that is similar to fabric. Likewise, designers are able to create garments on a larger scale using more firm and rigid materials. 

Machines have the ability to do a lot of work for designers that they would previously have to have done by hand. In the same way, architects don’t need to spend long periods of time working on complicated computer versions of their models. Frank Gehry is a great example of this; he is known to put sensors on the key points of his structures. The sensors decode the models into digital forms so that Gehry doesn’t have to do this by hand. Thus, technology not only makes life easier for architects and designers, but it also allows them to come up with new, high tech, original designs.
