Abstract

Fifteen essays in 'Architecture as a craft' present a vision of the architectural discipline in which the essence is sought in craft itself. The book is based on the eponymous symposium that the Delft University of Technology held at the Faculty of Architecture from May 13 to June 4, 2009. The texts can be divided into three main groups: 1. this group examines the architect's position; 2. the second group looks at architectural composition and the resources that architects use to produce a design, such as models and drawings; 3. the last group discusses the meaning of materialisation in architectural thinking.
