Investigate the cultural and sensory losses incurred by transitioning to digital architectural media and explore how bodily practices and tactile craft restore social and environmental responsiveness.
Analyzed contemporary pedagogical and professional trajectories in architectural computer imaging, parametric modeling, and environmental design.
Conducted a qualitative case study of an artisanal animation project, Last Dance on the Main, to assess tactile and bodily image-making techniques.
Revealed an emerging demand for haptic environments, tactile sensations, and craft-centered artifacts marginalized by screen-based media.
Demonstrated that hybridizing physical, artisanal craftsmanship with digital workflows creates a more place-responsive and culturally sustainable design practice.
