Four Major Components of Programming
- Function
- Form
- Economy
- Time
Function
Relates to the people and activities within space/building and their relationships
Form
Relates to the site, the physical and psychological environment of the building, and quality of construction
Form is derived from an appropriately studied fucntion
Economy
Concerns money: the initial costs, operating costs, and life-cycle cost
Time
Concerns the past, present, and future as they affect the other three considerations
Successful design forms consist of these objectives
Behavirioal - if the space is ample enough for function
and if it facilities support the work
Circulation - ease where users can move, information and goods
Health - consideration noise, crowding, unsafe conditions, etc.
Adaptive - future changes
Cost - often times a major determinant where simple forms reduce cost, and compact arrangements for high densities
Five-Step Method of Programming
- Establish Objectives
- Collect, Organize and analyze data
- Formulate relationships
- Establish priorities
- State the problem
What is building programming
The process that describes a buildings needs before design begins.
-Basis for resolutions of different opinions

Design creates a solution through forom
