Facility Programming

  • Chapter
Advance in Environment, Behavior, and Design

Part of the book series: Advances in Environment, Behavior, and Design ((AEBD,volume 2))

Abstract

Facility programming is about information. The idea of a program is not new to the world of architecture. Its earliest application can be found in 1865 in a set of instructions for architects competing to design a new Court of Justice in London. Before that, the courts that had been built had been found inadequate from the start. The competing architects were advised to inspect the existing facilities and were warned that the arrangement of the courts and offices was extremely important; on it mainly depended the success or failure of the legal process: “Light and quiet were major considerations and were to be indicated for each room on a three-point scale”; the primary concern was “to facilitate the efficient dispatch and accurate transaction of the law business of the country” (Port, 1968, p. 81).
