MASON PENSE, ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN II
Craft graphics / Architect Research
In these two craft collages art is used as the word to describe craft. When you think craft you think of the art the countless hours devoted into one piece. the specialty of an artist, a man dedicated to sculpting,painting and drawing. A person who is a specialist at what they do. The word art and craft correlate because it takes a sort of artistic mind crafting something, when your sculpting a model to be an art form.
Concept Designs (Backyard Cottage)
Concept 01 : This concept was a open room idea allowing for a universal design. Based on how the client wants his design he can choose that. 1 story or 2 story you choose.
Concept 02 : This concept was a more constructed piece allowing for a more final design. There is still flow in this idea but more structure. And adding things like a garage and outside areas of shade. Concept 03 : For this concept i wanted to go with a simple house design with the needed space of my client. There's a functional workshop on the first floor. |

This site plan wasn't the biggest so i maximized the design of the build allowing for the whole space to be used. In this design while it was maxed out to the site potential there are still things that were done to fulfill its full potential to the placement of the garage to the placement of the front door. It all serves a purpose to make the owner of this backyard cottage feel at home and be a functional work place.

Final Design (model) |
This model is a good physical object to really wrap your mind around the design you’re able to dive into it and almost be in the house. This shows the simplicity and complexity of a building built around the idea of glassblowing. The curved walls shows the un finished product when glassblowing while the more straight and thought out walls give it structure and balance to the building. Everything to the placements have a purpose while the garage faces the back of that house it does because it allows the cottage owner to utilize the garage at its fullest potential from the driveway. The door faces a more garden themed area giving the owner a peaceful place to look out of and enjoy.

Final Design (concept 01)
Final Model

In this design you are being told a story through out the site. For you to understand this story you must first understand what is going on and the objectives we had to complete. In this project we had to make a Master Craftsman house and a Apprentice house while incorporating a workshop in the mix. The craft that tied this whole site together was glassblowing. now that you understand our objectives behind this site ill tell you the story behind these buildings, First we start with the apprentice house notice how its more basic and not much is going on with it yet it still has some curves in it and some unique features kinda how the beginning of glassblowing starts. Now we move the the workshop if you look closely it has feetures from both the apprentice house and the master house. both of there features sum up the stage of glassblowing where your starting to form what you want your glass to become. Last of all the master house the final form the piece of glass you'd been working hard on to form that art piece. and there you have it the story of glassblowing implemented before your very eyes when you take foot on this site your immersed into this craft that all love so much!
