The How is [it] Done Well?” project was designed with the intention of collecting paper-based, pen-sketched experiences from The Crafting the Future Conference and share our knowledge with the larger AIA community. Here are a few of our sketches, thoughts, and expressions.

One of the best “How is [it] Done Well” moments was at the Gallery of Horuji Treasures at the Tokyo National Museum in Tokyo, Japan. Shoyo Arakawa architect with Yoshio Taniguchi and Associates, sketched the storefront and drainage detail. During our tour, he showed our AIA tour group how water and venting flows were designed to create a seamless curtain wall detail. Below is a photo of Mr. Arakawa pointing to the actual detail.
