The objective of this project was to select a building as a source of inspiration. I chose Kew Gardens, but incorporated elements of Japanese tradition into my design.

Final work

Final outcome of my spike jacket. The jacket is fitted around the body and oversized around the arms. The sleeves are covered in crocheted spikes.
