Programming is translating what you want to do, and how you need to do it, into right-sized spaces. Sometimes clients simply need verification of their own list of desired spaces. Programming clarifies the scope of the project as a foundation for the rest of the project planning, and it can be a stand-alone effort or part of a master plan, feasibility study, or conditions assessment.
