Praxis
Project Introduction
Praxis is a flexible creative hub designed for designers to book and use spaces for making and showcasing their work.
Concept Statement
Praxis is an interior framework that spatializes the cycle of producing, activating, and reflecting. Through modular and flexible systems, it supports fashion designers in transitioning between focused production and presenting their work, while enabling ongoing testing, review, and reflection, reducing reliance on temporary, wasteful construction.

Conceptual Phase
Shematic Phase



Existing M7 layout

Proposed M7 layout - Praxis

Proposing movable walls instead of gypsum, enabling flexibility within the fashion design workflow.

Walls reconfigured to support different spatial uses and layouts.

Wall configurations shift between production and reflection modes.

Visualizing modularity through a fashion show setup.

Modules reconfigure into different modes beyond the fashion show.
