Build in the open

The construction record is published as the work happens, including the decisions that turned out to be wrong.

Openness is only meaningful when it is inconvenient. A record that contains only successes is an advertisement wearing the clothes of a journal.

THIS RULES OUT

  • No retrospective rewriting of the record.
  • No announcement of a decision without its reasoning.
  • No silence during the difficult parts.

HOW TO CHECK US

  • Four public streams: construction, decisions, thinking, releases.
  • Reversed decisions stay published, with the reversal attached.
