Parts
Parts are where ideas become physical. Walls, openings, and junctions translate drawings into reality. Each part carries intent, shaping how a house stands, connects, and feels — turning abstract thinking into something that can be built and experienced.
Parts are where a house begins to exist physically.
What was once an idea, then a drawing, becomes a collection of elements — walls, floors, roofs, openings, and junctions — each with a specific role to play.
A part is never isolated. It always meets another part. Walls meet floors, windows meet structure, materials meet air. These junctions define how the house stands, how it performs, and how it is experienced. They determine thickness, depth, shadow, and edge.
Parts also carry decisions. A wall can be solid or layered. An opening can be deep or flush. A threshold can separate or connect. These choices shape the atmosphere of the house long before it is occupied.
Through parts, drawings become instructions. Builders interpret them, assemble them, and give them weight. The house moves from abstraction to assembly.
Understanding parts reveals that a house is not a single object, but a system. It is a collection of relationships — materials joined with intention, forming spaces that can be lived in.
Parts are the moment where thinking becomes construction, and where architecture begins to take physical form.
