Q: Passage: The modern trend in design is toward integration of previously separated specialties, especially among large firms. In the past, architects, interior designers, engineers, developers, construction managers, and general contractors were more likely to be entirely separate companies, even in the larger firms. Presently, a firm that is nominally an 'architecture' or 'construction management' firm may have experts from all related fields as employees, or to have an associated company that provides each necessary skill. Thus, each such firm may offer itself as 'one-stop shopping' for a construction project, from beginning to end. This is designated as a 'design build' contract where the contractor is given a performance specification and must undertake the project from design to construction, while adhering to the performance specifications. Question: The modern trend in design is toward integration of what?
A:
previously separated specialties
