Programming
terms & definitions
The program of requirements is a summary of the limiting conditions and
requirements, quantitative and qualitative, which need to be satisfied by the
solution to a particular housing requirement. (government building agency 1995)
A program of requirements is an ordered collection of data about an organization’s
housing needs and the performance required in respect of the site, building,
rooms, parts of the building and facilities in the building and on the site. (Voordt
1999)
Briefing is an evolutionary process of understanding an organization’s needs and
resources, and matching these to its objectives and its mission. It is about
problem formulating and problem solving… (Blyth 2001)

Pattern Language .. What & Why?
Why?
Modern Architecture didn’t fulfill users
needs.. Architects didn’t offer environments
that allow users to carry out their activities
comfortably and conveniently.

Corbusier

Pattern Language .. What & Why?
Definition of Pattern
The patterns describe a design problem which occurs over and
over again in the environment, and then describe a core
solution for understanding a similar pattern. (Alexander
1977)

A pattern is based on the premise that typical systems of connection exist. (Sanoff

What is the hidden program??
Hidden program is the system of relationships, usually taken for
granted, that give the building its basic social-physical form and
connect it to the rest of society.. (Preiser, 1978),
