Q

It is when the soil is frequently or permanently saturated and may have water standing on it. This maybe caused by local accumulation of surface water, or rise in the level of groundwater within the soil because the soil particles are too small to transmit infiltration

64
Q

He defines the program as composed of the four “P’s”

A

Kevin Lynch

65
Q

four “P’s”

A
  • Population
  • Packaging
  • Performance
  • Patterns
66
Q

Refers to the actual user who may or may not be the client per se.

A

Population

67
Q

It involves the type and quantities of elements
that will be provided in the design.

A

Packaging

68
Q

standards set the quality of elements expected, whether in terms of materials or function.

A

Performance

69
Q

refer to general physical relationships that should
be achieved.

A

Patterns

70
Q

While the analysis is based upon a basic program concept, the potential of the site for development influences the planner’s ultimate program recommendations. The program should include:

A
  • A statement of goals that the project should achieve.
  • A list of project objectives by which these goals will be
    accomplished.
  • A list of project elements that will be included and a
    description or analysis of their interrelationships.
