Programming & Site Analysis (ALL) Flashcards
Programming Concepts
What are the 5 steps in the Programming Process?
- Goals
- Facts - Analyzing/Collecting
- Concepts - Testing
- Needs - Determining NEEDS vs. WANTS
- Problem - Stating the Problem.
Programmatic Concepts
Priority
Establishes the order of importance of things such as size, position, or social values
Programmatic Concepts
Hierarchy
Relates to the idea of the exercise of authority and is expressed in physical symbols of authority
Programmatic Concepts
Density
low, medium, or high—may relate to how a space or group of spaces are used to respond to goals such as efficient use of space or the desired amount of interaction in an office.
Programmatic Concepts
Activity Grouping
States whether activities should be integrated (i.e., bundled together) or separated and compartmentalized
Programmatic Concepts
People Grouping
States the degree of massing of people in a space and is derived from the physical, social, and emotional characteristics of the group
Programmatic Concepts
Separated Flow
Relates to segregating the flow of people, service access, and other activities of a building or space.
Programmatic Concepts
Flexibility
Includes 3 components
1. Expandability
2. Convertibility
3. Versatility
Programmatic Concepts
Security
Refers to ways that both people and property can be protected based on the value of the potential loss
Programmatic Concepts
Phasing
Determines if the project must be completed in stages to meet time and cost schedules.
Programmatic Concepts
Cost Control
Explores ways to establish a realistic preview of costs and a balanced budget to meet the client’s available funds.
Programming Concepts
What are the 4 MAJOR considerations during porgramming?
- Form - What is it?
- Function - What does it do?
- Economy - Budget
- Time - Schedule
Programming Concepts
What are the 3 types of adjacency needs?
- People
- Products
- Information
Determining & Representing Space Concepts
The following is the order in which the Design Concept develops into a final product
- Programming
- Design theory
- Application of conceptual ideas
- Design concept
- Adjacencies/relationships* *in the form of matrix, bubble or adjacency diagram
- Rough block or stacking Diagrams
- Design development
- Space Planning
- Construction drawings
Components of a Design Concept
Plan Arrangements/Organizational Concepts
- Open (hierarchy is not wanted)
- Centralized (non-directional)
- Linear (corridor)
- Grid
- Radial
- Clustered
- Axial
Space Relationships
- Adjacent (home/offices)
- Overlapping (stage in Theater)
- Sharing Common Space (room around courtyard)
- Space within space
Space Planning
The following is the process used to translate programmatic needs into a physical plan (construction drawings)
Things to consider during space allocation
- Exisitng conditions (views, features, plumbing, structural)
- Organization concepts (linear, grid, centeralize, axial)
- Circulation Patterns (ways of organizing a space)
- Furnishings Layout
- Code Restrictions that will influence the concepts
Space Planning
Linear
- In its simplest form, the linear concept runs in a straight line
- Often used to separate groups of enclosed spaces with a large open space
Example: School
Space Planning
Axial
Aligns spaces on a significant feature or features
Example: Church
Space Planning
Open
- No space defining partions; furniture solution-based floor plan
- Concept cannot be used by itself because there are usually spaces that must be enclosed for security, privacy, light control, acoustical isolation, or other reasons
Space Planning
Grid
- Arranges spaces on a predefined, regular pattern of points or intersecting parallel line
- Useful way to organize many different types and sizes of spaces while maintaining an overall regularity and pattern
Space Planning
Centeralized
Uses a single dominate space with seconary spaces grouped around it
Data & Research
Program Analysis
- Determining Space needs
- Task and Activity Analysis
- Code Analysis
- Accessibility
- Rules and Regulations, Standards for leased Building
- Building systems Review
Data & Research
Information needs to be gathered by ONE of the FOUR METHODS
- Goals and Objectives
- User Requirements
- Activity Requirements
- Furnishing and Equipment
- Adjacencies
- Space Requirement listed by Activity and Square footage
- Time and Money Management
