Architectural programming – the analysis of any given environment to satisfy users’ needs – has become a given prerequisite to the design process. The programming process is often a complicated one: users’ present and future needs must be identified; space allowances, often predetermined, must be considered; equipment must be accommodated; all in the most cost-effective way possible. The variety of user groups is as wide as the variety of functions architecture can shelter; moreover, the different structures and needs of clients that fall within the same use classification differs so greatly that every program presents a new challenge. You cannot, for example, use the same program for every hospital you design. In Programming the Built Environment, first published in 1985, noted architect Wolfgang F. E. Preiser has compiled a wide range of architectural programs demonstrating applications of basic principles for different client groups. This book will be of interest to students of architecture and planning.

This compelling resource, which was first published in 1993, was the first book on facility programming to design parameters and specifications over a broad range of project types. The book’s practical, how-to approach is exceedingly beneficial to professionals and students involved with a wide variety of building types – from corporate facilities, to parks, day care centres, health centres, and correctional facilities. It also covers the fine points of working with clients. The contributors provide real-world case studies, endowing the reader with the tools necessary to reap a deeper understanding and a more critical assessment of the major programming approaches today. Professional Practice in Facility Programming is a uniquely current, self-contained resource that will prove invaluable to a wide cross-section of practitioners and students.

First published in 1978, the objective of this book is to provide an authoritative and selective overview of current, user-orientated programming methods within the field of environmental design. The 19 chapters compiled in this volume describe procedures and the information content of innovative approaches used by leading programming experts in the private and institutional sectors. Emphasis is placed on a qualitative and illustrative focus of selected approaches to environmental programming with the eventual occupants in mind. The chapter groupings are intended to reflect three major areas of professional engagement that serve the field of facility programming. The first group describe the approaches of firms or groups that were organised exclusively to provide environmental analysis and programming services. Part II is composed of chapters by authors who belong to established architectural firms with programming departments and Part III presents evidence that pertains to the supporting role of research and guidance literature from authors primarily affiliated with government agencies or supported by large organisations.

At a time when architectural discourse and practice are brimming with references to new geometries, ijp turns its back on the habitual perception of the 3D surface as a photosensitive, colourful and somewhat mystifying expanse. Instead, this experimental text approaches its subject through a joint meditation on abstraction, figuration, performance, symbology and form. elaborated in parallel venues, including theoretical essays on the literal and metaphoric meaning of superficial, statements of computer programming syntax, recipes, printouts of data streams, indexical poetry, mathematical asides, and descriptions of numerically controlled fabrication processes - all of which offer alternative descriptions of the very same thing: the surface as object of knowledge. A rigorous typographic treatment enhanced by custom-programmed graphics stylizes the most technical side of these various threads and weaves them into a coherent narrative for nonspecialists.

First published in 1992, this book is about making connections that may lead towards a new professionalism, since the past several decades have given rise mainly to new kinds of specialists in the areas of programming, evaluation, and participation. The implications for such integration are far reaching, with profound future effects on the physical environment, the design professions, and the education of designers. The book is split into four sections dealing with facility programming, several forms of evaluation, participatory design, and the application of Theory Z principles. This book will be of interest to students of architecture and design.

Architectural programming is the key to successful design. It is the crucial process of gathering, organizing, and assessing a client's building-use information. This process includes design concepts and program objectives ... staff and employee projections ... current and future space requirements ... adjacencies and relationships ... equipment and utility requirements ... project cost ... and more. This unique book and diskette provide architects, engineers, facilities managers, corporate and institutional administrators, and others with an effective method for gathering and assessing data needed to successfully design virtually any type of building - from office towers and educational facilities to laboratories and medical facilities.
