Art, craft, and science

Some think there is only one way to architect or interweave. This is a common misconception!

There are many ways, approaches, styles, manners, and theories that architects choose for their practices.

Art, craft, and science are three of many elements that can describe an architect's style. Often architects choose a balance between them in their practices.

- Craft (experience, practical, learning)
- Art (vision, creative insight),
- Science (analysis, systematic, evidence)

Henry Mintzberg, and Frances Westley in their work with management and strategies discuss what could happen when one of the three is under-empathised.

- Craft: the architect becomes a disconnected poet

- Art: the architect becomes a dispirited pragmatist

- Science: the architect becomes disorganised artisan
