The acid test of any architectural junction drawing is whether the site mason or carpenter holding the print can execute it in the exact build sequence the site demands. A detail that requires three separate specialized trades to occupy the same square metre simultaneously is a detail destined for hurried site improvisation.
Designing for Practical Site Execution
This reality is why we maintain continuous site involvement from ground-breaking through handover. Dilemmas raised at the wall are answered fastest by the architects who drafted the intent, resolving issues with the design rather than compromising around it.
Draw fewer junctions, but draw the critical ones with unyielding precision. The details that matter most are the ones that repeat across the entire building.
