Drawing the Joint
Architectural intent survives to site in the details or not at all, the lecture argued. A plan can be redrawn by a contractor and still work; a junction redrawn by a contractor becomes a different building. The argument was made through six junctions from the studio archive, each shown at 1:5.

Note
We give this lecture roughly once a year and it changes every time, because the junctions change. The students asked better questions than the professionals do, mostly about cost. We now open with the cost, since that is the honest place to start.
