ARCHITECTURAL PROGRAMMIMG


2/22

What is programming?

Architectural programming is the thorough andsystematic evaluation of the interrelated values, goals,

facts and needs of a clients organization, facility users and

the surrounding community.

A well conceived program leads to high quality design


3/22

What is the need?

To clarify project goals and design issues To provide a rational basis for design decision making

To provide a systematic process for decision making

about organizational and project values, goals and

requirements

PROCESS

Programming is the time to identify, consider, debate,reject, accept, and prioritize values such as institutional

purposes, functional efficiency, user comfort, building

economics, safety, environmental sustainability, and visual

quality. These identified values and concerns can have a profound

effect on the ultimate form of a building.


16/22

If the program is driven primarily by concerns for functional

efficiency, as is the case in many owner-produced programs,

organizational decisions made during programming will

significantly affect the form of the building.

If the program evolves more from the social and psychological

needs of the users, prescriptions for form will also be inherent

in the identified spaces and their sizes, characteristics, and

relationships.

If the program responds primarily to economic concerns, it is

possible that numerous material and system opportunities aswell as potentially unique spaces and places will be eliminated

from design consideration during programming.


17/22

PROJECT GOALS - OBJECTIVES

Once the primary values have been identified and prioritized, it is

possible to develop specific project goals.

What organizational objectives should be accomplished byproviding anew, expanded, or renovated facility?

Should the resulting building be a statement of theorganizations desired image?

Should it be a model of efficiency? Or should it be moreloosely organized, allowing for flexibility or even changes inhow operations are conducted?

Should it be environmentally sensitive, a showpiece of greenarchitecture?

What is the target for overall project cost?

When should the facility be ready for operation?


18/22

CONSTRAINTS & OPPORTUNITIES

Information must be gathered that identifies the specificnature of the constraints and opportunities.

Is there enough land on which to locate the proposed

facility?

Is it in the right location in terms of visibility, access,service, and the like?

Can the existing facilities be easily converted to new

uses?

Are the organizations cash flow and/or reserves sufficientto ensure that the construction and start-up costs can be

managed?


19/22

FACILITY REQUIREMENTS

When the important values and goals of the client, usergroup, and community and any related facts have been

identified, then and only then should the identification of

specific space needs begin

Steps for identifying the space needs of a specific facilityinclude the following:

Identify required spaces

Establish the size and relationships of these spaces

Develop appropriate factors for estimating efficiency

Project budget and schedule requirements


20/22

INFORMATION GATHERING

Five types of Information Gathering methods are used inArchitectural Programming

1. Literature search / review

2. Interviewing

3. Observation

4. Questionnaires and Surveys

5. Group Sessions


21/22

DATA ANALYSIS

The task here is to develop options for solutions to helpwith their evaluations and to recommend the most

effective alternatives

The programming team presents the various options or

precepts to the client and guides the client throughevaluation of the alternatives


22/22

DELIVERABLES

The usual deliverable is a written architectural program,which is a comprehensive report that includes

documentation of the methodology used, an executive

summary, value and goal statements, the relevant

facts, data analysis conclusions, and the program

requirements, including space listings by function and size,

relationship diagrams, space program sheets,

stacking plans, precept drawings, and flow diagrams.

A comprehensive program will also include project costestimates and a project schedule
