Over the course of eight weeks I developed this model of a live/work space for a violin craftsman, located in Bellevue, Kentucky.  The design emerged using several unusual methods: model only, section only, and with brief production periods.  I made several quick study models during Monday charrettes based on a specially selected song, a specific piece of art, or an excerpt on architectural theory.  During the remainder of the week, I created a section model, which further expanded on the ideas from Monday.  Each section represented eight feet of the project site and could not be modified after the weekly critique on Friday afternoon.  During the quarter my design evolved significantly from a simple, wood framed storefront to a very organic envelope.  Eventually bamboo or a similar, highly flexible, high strength plant would form the structure for both the walls and floor, while more typical building systems would weave between the canes.  The upper floor would provide a living space for the craftsman.  The lower floor would house the violin showroom, workshop, and any necessary storage areas.
