5 STEPS POSE QUESTIONS: 1) GOALS - what does the client want to achieve/ why? 2) FACTS - what do we know, what is given? 3) CONCEPTS - how does the client want to achieve the goals?	4) NEEDS - how much $$ & space, what level of quality? 5) PROBLEM - what are the significant conditions affecting the design of the bldg, what are the gen. directions the design should take?
1) in practice usually working on which steps simultaneously may be necessary? 2) it's important to search for & define the WHOLE PROBLEM & must be identified in terms of:	1) steps 1-4 & only then 5 w/ all info available 2) function / form / economy / time

1) programmers must think in terms of: 2) teams are best when made up of both (___) & (___) types of thinkers: 3) often programming begins w/ complexity & goal is to simplify problems down to their essence, but oversimplification can happen when:	1) objectivity - realistic view of facts w/out distortion, clear rational statements of the problem 2) holistic & atomistic ("in the details") thinkers (holistic does have certain advg's although not necessary) 3) the tendency to concentrate on a single aspect of a problem to the exclusion of all complicating factors occurs & endangers design quality
1) good programming is characterized by timely & sound decision making by: 2) programmers must emphasize: 3) programmers must identify for clients those decisions that need: 4) every decision the client makes during programming:	1) the client, not the programmer 2) the client's decisions & not their own 3) to be made prior to design 4) simplifies the design problem by reducing the number of alt design solutions to meet the program req.'s
1) when a client postpones decisions, design solutions: 2) if a client cannot decide on how much $$ to spend until seeing the design: 3) to achieve effective, clear communication btwn the team:	1) tend to be unfeasible 2) the design solution will exceed the extend of funds available & increase alt designs exponentially 3) information collected must be carefully documented, undoc. info isn't likely to be considered & evaluated by the client & designer
