My study examines craft as a form of material practice within architectural reproduction. It argues that craft is not merely a product, but a process of thinking through making. Through practice-based research, I explore how material acts as an active agency across different modes of making. By working through boundaries, movement and operations, the research develops design methods that reconnect idea and execution in architectural reproduction.
