Programming

Question 1

A functional programming report consists of:

Answer 1

-client goals + values
-site requirements: parking, transportation, accessibility
-table with summery of spaces; activities, equipment, relative size of spaces, bubble space relation diagram, solar diagram, views, wind, noise
-financial requirements
-schedules, project phasing
-delivery method
-ecological + env concerns

Question 2

Task involved in defining a functional program

Answer 2

-describe clients philosophy + goals
-identify activities, workload, throughput
-number of staff
-major equipment needed
-relationships between spaces
-critical dimensions of spaces
-durability of finishes
-Env criteria + goals

Question 3

Answer 3

-impacts on surrounding context
-social impact on the community
-urban planning: local infrastructure
-regulatory constraints
-budget vs. expectations
-staffing constraints
-hours of operation
-volume required

Question 4

-height limitations
-topography
-vegetation
-views
-solar orientation
-property lines
-% occupation
-permitted occupancies
-

Question 5

What kind of sustainable approaches can impact program?

Answer 5

-building form + solar orientation
-mechanical = gross floor impacting net floor
-space use : flexible spaces \ multi-use

Answer 6

-cost
-impact on space requirements
-site requirements
-geometry, footprint, orientation
