In-Habit is an exploration about people’s daily habits (outfits). It examines and ‘blueprints’ the spaces that individuals construct and inhabit. A central question is how an individual generate spaces likewise as how architects create architectural environments. Each of these daily habits gives us a fuller picture of a person’s unique individuality. This project also explores ‘habituating’ an expression of personal style through a person’s habit. It revises how such habit is part of a broader visual language and how this language can be developed further as to influence others to ‘speak’ it. Through the documentation and blueprinting of selected participants, this project develops a collection of deliverables such as individual look-books for each participant. They aim at documenting ‘habits’ and their inspirations to construct their own stylistic personality.
