Abstract: | This thesis considers place and belonging and explores craft as a method of discovering community. I recently moved my furniture practice from Toronto to Prince Edward County, an agricultural region in rural Ontario. This relocation inspired my research; Prince Edward County was the setting of this work and the community in which I attempted to form connections through my practice. The principles of architectural theory Critical Regionalism were applied as a framework for the design of new regional furniture. |
