Nahb Chart Of Accounts

Every choice I make—the chart type, the colors, the scale, the title—is a rhetorical act that shapes how the viewer interprets the information. You walk around it, you see it from different angles, you change its color and fabric with a gesture. People display these quotes in their homes and offices for motivation. The real cost catalog, I have come to realize, is an impossible and perhaps even terrifying document, one that no company would ever willingly print, and one that we, as consumers, may not have the courage to read. It is an attempt to give form to the formless, to create a tangible guidepost for decisions that are otherwise governed by the often murky and inconsistent currents of intuition and feeling. This represents another fundamental shift in design thinking over the past few decades, from a designer-centric model to a human-centered one.
