Synopsis

This book delves into the critical yet often overlooked role of programming in architecture. Recognizing the evolution of this field from a superficial exercise to a systematic discipline, the author explores programming's integral relationship with the design process. Drawing upon a wealth of research in allied disciplines like psychology and sociology, the book emphasizes the importance of both traditional and non-traditional facts in programming, demonstrating how they directly influence the consequences of architectural decisions. The author meticulously outlines a model for programming that begins with the identification of critical issues and moves through a careful analysis of facts and their implications, culminating in the formulation of precepts and concepts that guide the design process. By examining the role of programming as a bridge between the client's needs and the architect's creative vision, the book offers a comprehensive framework for understanding and applying the principles of effective programming in architectural practice.
