| use www.detail.de, you can get the details from all the projects in their magazine as pdfs. They have a banner across them to stop you just stealing them, though I *imagine* those to present few problems to those capable of using the necessary software for disassembling pdf. I've seen someone do it with a basic pdf password-cracker program and Adobe Illustrator. |

| I didn't specify a project! They have hundreds on that site, and you can search by whatever takes your fancy, be that material, building type, location, etc. |

| I've always found the best precedent studies are one's you are interested in. Then you can carry some of what caught your design as inspiration for an upcoming project. |

| you're actually better off if you want to get a few details (e.g. roof, foundations, walls, partitions, windows, etc) buying one of their books as what they charge for a pdf of a single detail is about 1/3 - 1/4 the cost of one of the indetai books. or get a student subscription to the magazine - there are some reasonable deals available. i like detail a lot but i think the price they charge on a per detail pdf is far too pricey compared to the magazine and their books. |
