Compositional Features and Prospects of the Synthesis of Armenian Architecture and Costume Design

Vollständiger Abstract

Worum geht es in dieser Arbeit?

This study is devoted to the investigation of the compositional interrelationship between the ornamental system of Armenian architectural heritage and contemporary haute couture fashion design. Within the framework of the research, the decorative and plastic language of medieval Armenian architecture has been reinterpreted in the composition of contemporary haute couture bridal wear. The study examines the principles of architectural composition, including symmetry, rhythm, volumetric-spatial relationships, vertical dynamism, proportional harmony, and ornamental integration, which are subsequently reimagined within the structural system of costume design. As a case study, the research presents a model of luxurious Armenian bridal attire whose embroidered decoration synthesizes concepts derived from Armenian ecclesiastical architecture and the art of khachkars (cross-stones). The proposed design serves as a means of reinterpreting and expressing cultural heritage through contemporary artistic representation.
