what + why

Waggish Builds is an avatar set up for Austen Kernodle, an architect, to think small. Architecture is often big and slow. Even modest sized houses are huge projects that sometimes require years of commitment, countless collaborations, and external expertise. These builds are a way to practice architecture with a speed and control not often achieved in architectural practice. There is an idea, usually articulated with a diagram, and quite quickly, with limited abilities the idea is manifested. The builds range from custom pieces for clients to pure experiments of curiosity.
