Programming the Built Environment (Routledge Revivals)Author(s): Wolfgang F. E. Preiser\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781138885271, 978-1138885271\nSynopsis\nArchitectural programming the analysis of any given environment to satisfy users needs has become a given prerequisite to the design process. The programming process is often a complicated one: users present and future needs must be identified; space allowances, often predetermined, must be considered; equipment must be accommodated; all in the most cost-effective way possible. The variety of user groups is as wide as the variety of functions architecture can shelter; moreover, the different structures and needs of clients that fall within the same use classification differs so greatly that every program presents a new challenge. You cannot, for example, use the same program for every hospital you design. \n\nIn Programming the Built Environment, first pub.
