<br /> Architectural programming is the critical foundation and first step of the ao
<br /> design effort; it is the process of identifying and systematically organizing � S.44

<br /> I the functional, architectural, structural, mechanical, aesthetic, and budget _ ; `'; • ''�
<br /> ,mw
<br /> criteria that guide decision making. Programming does not attempt a :. `�� -`13
<br /> design, or anticipate a design solution, as this will likely compromise the .i - . !-
<br /> program or create bias. The programming process seeks to make clear the ;=j �— _ ��• �
<br /> I uniqueness of a particular problem.
<br /> i A functional building requires skillful design which must have sensible _
<br /> programming at its foundation. The conceptual design will be developed .. -
