Field notes
The report borrows aviation-weather conventions, including station codes and METAR-style observations, to narrate project status. Its examples range from a village-house history paired with a solar and building study to doctoral research whose details are withheld until publication. The page also marks unfinished work plainly: Life Rain has a specification but no build, while Garden Pattern Works is still measuring.
