How does a design concept become a detailed plan? During the initial stages of design, sketching predominates. Architects draw, relating creative freedom to a representational technology that is understood to lack specific practical consequence.5 This imaginative process aims to move away from existing realities toward a “design concept.” In later stages of design, by contrast, architects aim to make their drawings consequential. The process of “detailing” is a way of anticipating the reality of the concept. It is oriented to give substance and specificity to what exists abstractly. At this stage, architects must understand and resolve a range of more practical considerations, including those of planning, construction, and cost....

Among these architects, the relationship between self and other is inflected by contradictory professional norms: collectively shared ideas about the importance of collegiality, camaraderie, friendship, and collaboration exist alongside ideas about skill and creativity as individual qualities of specific people. Megan describes how close working relationships develop through the practice of design:...

In the office, computers are central to a range of tasks. The architects’ days are mostly spent at screens: checking and responding to e-mail, finding “precedent” images that provide the inspiration for design, researching building materials and new technologies, and most centrally of all using one of a range of computer-aided design packages. Watching them at work, I observe screens flicking perpetually between these programs and tasks. Observing their movements, I find it clear that these architects are thoroughly digital humans, their capacities of thought and action indissoluble from digital technologies that saturate this working environment....

In the office, Tomas and Megan sit paging through sheets of detailed computer-generated plans, neatly and precisely laid out. “Like an instruction manual for the building,” Tomas remarks; “in theory, this is all the builders should need.” These documents will form the basis on which contractors will tender, and will later form the basis of the contract that is drawn up between client and builder. Megan became a fully qualified architect last year and is, by her own admission, still relatively inexperienced at this stage of the design. Their discussion focuses on the apparently minor details that can cause the kinds of ambiguity that lead to problems on-site. Tomas has acquired an eye for these troublesome details through over a decade in practice, often learning the hard way. He points out possible problems that need more work to resolve and clarify. Other details will remain unresolved and will need to stay that way. “They’ll make that bit up on-site,” Tomas explains to Megan. Pointing to a junction where various materials intersect, he highlights the need to be clear about this: “You need to TBC it,” he cautions her....
