"Programming Interior Environments introduces a four-component framework you can use to program interiors, and twelve methods for you to gather, analyse and synthesise programmatic information to take the guesswork out of your studio projects. This book studies the Student Programming Model: a realistic programming process for college and university interior design students that allows students to create accurate and in-depth programming documents essential for informing the design process. This is done whilst keeping in mind that students are often working solo, with imaginary clients and end users in mind, and collecting programme information within strict time constraints. Including three appendixes of student programmes created following these guidelines, to help you understand how to apply the framework components and inquiry methods in your own work, this book is ideal for students and professionals in interior design and interior architecture"--
