Field notes

The project stores digitized representations of building components and exposes them through both a browser interface and custom Python components for Rhino/Grasshopper. Its stated use is architectural research and teaching, especially workflows involving reuse, digital documentation, and component-based design. The homepage labels the release BETA 0.5.0.0 and identifies the catalog as a case study maintained for Max Benjamin Eschenbach's PhD thesis, with the Digital Design Unit credited as its supporting group.
