The Avery Index can be searched to locate architectural details. Such searches can be limited to a particular journal (Detail for instance) and combined with words describing the type of detail (glass, wood, window, curtain wall, etc). It is also possible to search for articles containing details by using the illustrations search option. Note, these searches must be conducted in advanced search mode.
