The studio publishes its construction detail library
Forty-two tested construction details, released openly for other practices to use and improve.
The studio has published forty-two of its construction details openly, with the drawings, the specification notes, and — where it matters — a short account of what went wrong the first time.
Details are only worth having if they have been built. Each one in the library has been constructed at least twice, and the notes record what changed between the first and second time.

Documents are listed to show the layout. File storage arrives with the CMS in a later phase.
