This unique book discusses programming, design and building
evaluation providing a joined up approach to building design. By
linking the functional and architectonic qualities of a building,
the authors show the practical implications of the utility value of
buildings.
Starting by looking at how the relationship between form and
function has been dealt with by different approaches to
architecture from a historical perspective, it goes on to discuss
how the desired functional quality and utility value of a building
can be expressed in a brief and given a physical form by the
architect. Finally, it advises on how to carry out post-occupancy
evaluation and provides the architect with methods and techniques
for testing whether the intended utility value of a building has
been achieved.
* Learn to fully understand the relationship between function and
form.
* Discover the link between design methodology and research and
their impact on the design brief.
* Discover how to evaluate buildings and apply the findings to
future designs.
