About the topic/technology
As a way of guiding the transition from architectural idea to built reality, an architect designs and draws for each building a set of details that show how it will be put together. Details are intended to provide information to a wide variety of users. By demonstrating the use of detail patterns, this text teaches a vital aspect of how to design a building that will perform well.
