A Classical Notion of Single Source Responsibility: Design-Build is a process that has been embraced by the worlds's great civilizations. In ancient Mesopatamia, the Code of Hammurabi (1800 BC) fixed absolute accountability upon master builders for both design and construction. In the succeding millenia, cathedrals and cable-stayed bridges, claisters and corporate headquarters, have been conceived and constructed using the paradigm of design-build. |
