The story in a city starts to attract customers. However, they make the street itself more attractive and livable. The city has its own tactics by citizens in daily life, the important thing is to be aware of and support them.

The Mobile Garden Dress is based on a hoop skirt that supports over forty potted plants and also acts as a light domed tent for summer. This piece promotes the planting of edible plants and also acts as an educational tool as the plants are identified with tags.The Nomadik Harvest Dress is based on the Mongolian ger (yurt). The traditional felt membrane of the ger is replaced with a covering made from secondhand wool sweaters, which provide comparable warmth and waterproofing. This dress is equipped with a pot and stove to cook the local vegetables and plants stowed in the sweater’s pockets into a communal soup. The architectural and cultural references for the third outfit, the Traveling Seedbomb Dress is a teepee hybrid equipped for the storing and sharing of seeds. The design is based on a conical shaped skirt, which converts into a larger shelter with the aid of hinged struts. The objective of this project is to link all of the structures together to create communal spaces where food, knowledge and stories are shared.
