Craftsman-Like Detailing
James Howard Kunstler
Incorporate craftsmanship and authenticity in building details to enrich architectural experience and foster local identity.
Context
Modern constructions that rely on mass-produced, generic materials and designs.
Problem
Lack of craftsmanship results in buildings that feel soulless and contribute to a placeless identity, lacking architectural interest.
Solution
Use authentic materials and skilled labor to create detailed, thoughtful architectural elements that resonate with local character.
