From investigated analogies and theories, a comparison becomes evident linking the importance of appearance and cultural acceptance. This relationship is strengthened with regard to the objectives, outcomes and desires that were strived for within the Modern Movement. The topics of investigation were; the search for 'beauty', the function and importance of ornament, whitewash, masking, and image with regard to the public and private realms, and how they are implicated in the Architecture and Fashion relationship. This process allowed a conclusive perspective to be reached concerning each of the fundamental aspects. The theoretical framework established in Part one was then applied to New Zealand Case studies, the Berhampore Flats and the Freeman's Bay Star Flats. This allowed insight and understanding into the nature and extent of the relationship between Modern Movement Architecture and Fashion? How the relationship is manifest today, within the local New Zealand context? Special acknowledgement was made to the refurbishment process, its influence to strengthen or weaken the predated style within today's context. The relationship remains clear within the scope of this analysis, Modern Movement Architecture and Fashion shared interest in design, functionality and 'beauty' unites these two creative disciplines as Industry Sisters.pdfen-NZPublic housingMass media and architectureArchitectural criticismBerhampore FlatsFreeman's Bay Star FlatsFashion industryArchitectureFashionArchitectural criticismText
