Eugene Tssui (/tsweɪ/ born Eugene Tsui, September 14, 1954) is an American architect noted for his use of ecological principles and “biologic” design, a term coined by Tssui himself in the 2010 issue of World Architecture Review. He has proposed a number of projects such as a bridge across the Strait of Gibraltar to connect the continents of Africa and Europe as well as a 2-mile-high tower capable of housing 1 million residents. He has been called the “Seminal Architect of the 21st Century." In May of 2013, Tssui was also listed as one of one hundred "Guardian Angels of the Planet" by Project Coyote.Tssui’s clothing designs include prototypes with sequin-like solar panels which would allow the wearer to charge and power their personal electronic devices. The designs have appeared in magazines such as Mondo 2000 and Hyphen. The 2008 Winter cover of the magazine Hors Ligne also features one of his garments.His work is described as "moving architectural clothing” and reflects the biologic principles found in his architecture, in that his designs are meant to adapt to the wearer’s physical activity as well as protect from the elements. Some of the stylistic influence of his architecture also bleeds over into his fashions, with ridges, spines, and wings all featuring in his designs.1-2. Photovoltaic electricity-generating “solar suit” in purple3. Winter coat made of faux fur and cotton5. Unisex sweater which retains and circulates body heat -- source link
