UT Austin or UW?
Which program do you believe will better afford me a theorectically-strong foundation in architecture (as I don't have a bachelor's degree in architecture) coupled with an emphasis on the craft (I have a preference for work that is hand-drafted, hand-drawn, hand-crafted, hand-constructed) and a serious education in building sustainably?
Please advise!
I can't speak to UW at all, but you can definitely get what you've just described at UT.
Theory and sustainability are probably the two highest priorities in the program (you can even pursue an emphasis or specialization in sustainable design if you are so inclined), and craft is definitely a priority as well. In the studios, you'll see a parallel bar on every table and hand crafted models all over the place (unlike, say, Avery Hall at Columbia, which mostly just looks like a cubicle farm with a desktop computer for every student).
Which isn't to say that you also can't pursue digital methods of design as well (and you may find that you have somewhat more interest in that later on than you do now), because you certainly can.
