Translating Design Details to Construction Details- with Both Eyes Open (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sajjadianm, S. (2017). Translating Design Details to Construction Details- with Both Eyes Open. In International Conference for Sustainable Design of the Built Environment: Proceedings (983-990)

Sustainable designs will come to nothing if they are lost in construction process. Therefore, the accuracy of design details and the transformation to the construction details is vital to achieve initial design thinking targets. This is driven most i...
