Field notes
The atlas says it covers 175 surfaces and systems, with category search across stone, timber, earth, concrete, and metal. Its navigation also lists room swapping, palette building, brief-making, heat and lighting timelines, budget comparisons, and a sound lab; the extract shows these as entry points but does not establish how deeply each tool works. Paid sourcing is structured as a one-category shortlist or a one-room palette, with revisions and exclusions spelled out.
