-CRAEFT-
In architecture, craeft originates from traditional notions of craftsmanship. It embodies an approach where design is deeply intertwined with local context, sustainability, and the textile experience of materials. This year, students were tasked with projecting craft through three different projects, all significantly unique from each other. Abstract drawing in Auto Cad, drafting, partis, and model building are some ways work is developed on this page. It is important to understand where the ideas came from, and how they were shown on paper.
Project 1-Axonometric Shapes
|
For our first project, we adjusted to the atmosphere of architecture, and experienced the tasks of drafting using T squres, parti diagrams, elevations, and model buildings. Throughout his project, we learned to think like an architect and involved craeft in our work.

This image here represents the final model produced from our axonometric model of choice.

Project 2-Bird Residence
|
The Bird Residence was a development of our skills in Auto Cad, which is combined with our original skills learned. Instead of just using the rubric and exact examples, this time we got to use our own ideas, and create something completely unique to our client. I chose the modular approach, and represented craeft by using limited materials in a tactile and effective way. There were many changes made, and throughout all of these it developed how my final model was produced.

The Bird House Elevations represent what the final model looks like from all sides. These are used in every project I have completed this year.

Project 3-Dean Residence
Our final project was a combination of every element we learned from architecture, and was a continuation of our birdhouse project, which was continued in this aspect. We learned to scale and draw specific objects that are relevant to our dean's collage, which is the first thing that we made to classify what we were building. We were tasked to construct a building that coincided with the Old Alton Bridge, for example, on top of it, through it, under it, or all three. For this project, I chose to represent craeft by using native Texan architecture by using specific materials for my residence in the model. I chose to exaggerate the use of this material (Metal, wood, and glass) by making a 3 silos, with rooms above the bridge and access below.
|
I started with butter paper and chose some ideas that I thought were representing Craeft and portraying a unique perspective to a house on a bridge.
|
|
|
I then chose my final idea, which I thought out and drew a parti diagram for. This idea then expanded into a final model, which was inspired by this collage.
|
After choosing my final project idea and rough drafting some models, drawing it on Auto Cad, drawing elevations and floor plans, I created my final model and presentation, which are portrayed in multiples below.

Thank you for reviewing and considering my work!
