I would like to see the process for creating new factual/specialist Wikimedia projects include a stage at whic hthe new project is a Wikibook, which serves as a demonstration of what project content will include (and a rough topic mesh for the project), proof of interest in the project, and a source of inspiration to new project contributors.
After this initial overview book could come full-fledged project development.

Can't it be a part of Wikibooks?
It could, but then so could all the Wikimedia projects. I'm not sure it would suit Wikibooks. I see this as a "commons" project covering the design and construction of the built environment *in its entirety* in all languages. Plus the prominence of being a separate Wikimedia project will help in attracting builders and designers. It may even need special code introduced into MediaWiki to deal with presenting/previewing up-and-coming 2D and 3D file formats, etc.
