Abstract
dc:description.abstractThe human hand, in building as in art, has left its impression on all the earliest forms of architecture. Its mark has been one of imperfection, variation, and uniqueness, and with these traits the personification of something innately human. This character, instilled into any work, immortalizes the idiosyncrasies descriptive of its creator. Rather than viewed as anachronism, inculcating the human component, "manufactum", into modern design reacquaints us with our own capricious temperaments. As powerful tools of the contemporary world heighten our faculty for exactitude, the prudence remains as to whether and when it is appropriate to do so.
