The pilgrim brewer: How can the evocative process of brewing be abstracted to develop an engaging architecture of craft? (Nova Scotia)

This thesis investigates how the combination of poetry, programme and site can be used to develop a heightened architectural experience for the process of brewing. Drawing from the allegory of John Barleycorn and its similarity to a Passion Play and organized through a three-way spectrum of community, experience and process, vivid imagery is layered through collage, modeling and drawing to produce engaging architectural events in a notional brewery in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
