Craft to make or manufacture (an object, objects, product, etc.) with skill and careful attention to detail.
Throughout the year, I have had the word craft drilled into my head is CRAFT. It is one thing to think of a design in your mind because it can become completely different when executed. A key in design execution is always craft. If it is not well crafted, it is not as good of a design. Detail is the most important factor in craft.
On our trip to Monticello I found that craft, of course, was impeccable. This was definitely due to the detail in the structure. In Monticello, Jefferson’s idea was to have an exotic home based off of roman and Greek architecture but also wanted to remind viewers that his home was an American home. He executed this through detail, my personal favorite egg corns in the moldings.
public/private
There are many techniques that can be used to separate public from private. One such method is progression through space such as homes that were created during 15th century France. These homes wer built to entertain guests at certain points in the house while secluded to outsiders in other areas. This was executed through progression. The room that one would first enter in the home would be the most public and as you went farther back the rooms would become those that only the home owner or the servants would be allowed to enter.
