Description
This course is the first part of a three-part series in designing a building for a real life client using the design build project delivery method. The course concentrates on preparing and developing the required "program" a designer must complete in order to understand the client's building and design goals and requirements. The students must understand spatial relationships, building users, building codes and budget constraints in the development of the final program. The program is then used in the follow-on senior project courses in subsequent quarters, as the basis of the design for the building. Other topics include team organization, team building, client interviewing skills, LEED and sustainable development, space analysis, building code review, building type research, Building Information Modeling (BIM) and CAD.
