Architecture is unlike most other creative disciplines. A writer starts to write words on a page that become a book or a play. A dancer moves their body to become the dance. An artist draws or paints what becomes the final piece of art.

But architects do not make architecture. Architects make an abstract representation of architecture. So it is important to understand what abstract representation means.

Watch the full episode to learn:

• What abstraction and representation is
• Reasons for abstraction and representation
• Types of architectural communication

An architecture programme captures a building function in great detail. For some designers, the function of a building can be seen to restrict the creative process, innovation and aesthetics. The lack of attention to the functional requirements will assure those that use the building every day will see it as a failure in design. Architectural programme is therefore an essential consideration in every design project and process.

** The difference between programme and brief.

** How to define a programme.
