Learning to be an architect and builder

 In the last post, I made the statement that everything I learned about tiny construction came from the YouTube tutorial I watched 25 times about building a Japanese Tea House. This is not true.

Here are three photos from 1988 when I studied scale models with an architect in Sausalito. I did a wonderful job on this tea house model. I wish I could remember all the details. I do remember that the shoji screen windows do not slide. So some techniques have improved.



 I can also see that the flooring and possibly the siding are made from craft sticks, which I am losing interest in rapidly. Warping is the issue. Craft sticks are fine if you do not plan to paint or stain the structure.
