CLAIRE HAUPT SKETCHES FROM ABROAD
During my time studying abroad in Europe, I worked on three forms of graphic inquiry to investigate the architecture and design I was exposed to.
PROJECTIONS
are a form of graphic speculation.
CROSSINGS
study the representation of how an architectural element drives form.
TYPOLOGIES
study how architectural elements are defined: through their surroundings or by their surroundings.
P r o j e c t i o n s
Meaning is found in the underlying gestures that fabricate architectural conception. In an investigation of different scaled details, the defining characteristics of architecture are revealed. The sketches propose a possible thesis for the comprehensive formula of each building.

Ornament has deep roots in the history of architecture, its expression fluctuating as time progresses. Ornament engages with architecture resulting in form or surface that enriches the palpable experience of a building. These sketches examine the contemporary evolution of ornament.

Vertical circulation is the proprietor of human interaction with architectural elements. Serving as a connector of sorts, vertical circulation is existential to the procession through a building. Each sketch investigates how these elements are defined: through their surroundings or by their surroundings.
