Abstract
This paper is a primer on architectural programming. It reviews the relevant literature of the past twenty years as an introduction to basic concepts. On this basis, programming terminology is discussed to clarify basic notions in this field and distinguish between other types of planning undertaken before and after design. In conclusion, seven key thematic areas on programming are presented for further inquiry: programming process; products of programming; programming methodology; how programming relates to the design process; programmers’ role; requirements for ensuring quality programming; and requirements for improving programming teaching in architectural education.
