On one sheet of 8-1/2" x 11" paper, re-draw the two cavity wall-parapet details from Brand (Architectural Details..., pp.16,17) and Allen (Architectural Detailing..., p.264). Draw and label them side by side at the same scale: 1" = 1'-0". On a second sheet of paper, discuss whether Allen's detail satisfies the criteria outlined by Brand on page 17.
