Send us a textEver wondered what architects mean when they talk about "programme"? In our latest deep dive, we crack open this fundamental concept that shapes everything from the tiniest apartments to sprawling civic buildings.This episode begins with a seemingly simple question: what exactly is program in architecture? We explore how program operates simultaneously at multiple scales—a house within a street, a road within a city—creating nested relationships that influence design decisions. Through examples like OMA's Seattle Library with its stacked functional boxes unified by a faceted glass facade, we see perhaps the most literal translation of program to architectural form.The conversation weaves through bubble diagrams (an early design tool), form following function (or is it the other way around?), and experimental approaches that challenge conventional spatial definitions. Gerard shares several fascinating concepts including his "advent calendar house" where floor hatches reveal different functional spaces beneath. We discuss how regulatory constraints and client expectations often limit such experimentation, particularly in residential contexts, while highlighting how program innovation frequently emerges most powerfully in constrained circumstances like tiny houses.What makes this exploration particularly valuable is recognizing that program isn't just a technical exercise but a powerful design driver. By thinking creatively about how spaces function, relate, and transform, architects can create more compelling environments without relying solely on expensive materials or dramatic forms. Whether you're designing your own space or simply curious about how buildings work, understanding program reveals architecture's deeper purpose: creating meaningful human experiences through thoughtful spatial relationships.Listen now and you'll never look at a building the same way again. Have you encountered spaces with particularly brilliant programming? We'd love to hear about your experiences in the comments!Chapters:0:00 - Introduction to Understanding Program9:42 - Defining Program: Bubble Diagrams & Form19:46 - Program as Architecture: Notable Examples29:55 - Form Follows Function: Design Approaches39:54 - Reinventing Walls: Alternative Spatial Definitions48:05 - Program Innovation: Experimental DwellingsPlease Like and Subscribe it really helps :) Follow us on @designpriciplespod on Instagram and if you wish to contact us hit our DMs or our personal pages.

This 2025 podcast recording with Lori Halbach (Square One) was a thoughtful journey into how she helps people with their decluttering, downsizing, strategic sorting and so much more. I took this from her short bio on the Denver Metro Association of REALTORS (DMAR) which is probably only a portion of what she does. Her ability to be shoulder to shoulder with clients in challenging times is what I believe is one of best attributes.

NOTE: Todd has left JLL since recording this episode.In this episode, Doug sits down with Todd Edstrom—formerly of JLL. Todd provides insights into why technology is transforming the commercial real estate (CRE) industry—an industry that has been slow to leverage technology. The industry is "curious but skeptical" excited to try new things, but slow to shake the industry.So, what technology is beneficial to the commercial real estate industry? A major theme is the importance of data. How can data be used to inform better decision-making? While data sets such as survey's and utilization/badge data are necessary, Todd argues that productivity data is most important right now to understand exactly how spaces are being used. There's even new technology emerging that uses sensors to capture data and give researchers insight into how a spaces are actually used.Looking into the future, Todd is encouraged by technologies like virtual construction site scans to automatically track progress and tools that use AI to instantly generate 3D space plans from PDFs. It's important to note that these technologies shouldn't replace human relationships and expertise in CRE deals, but should compliment them.Follow Todd Edstrom on LinkedIn.Follow Doug on LinkedIn.Click here to get your copy of Doug's children's book—Design Your World.Follow Imagine a Place on LinkedIn.

Movies love to show architects creating away at a drafting table or sitting picturesquely at a cafe, sketchbook in hand. It's romantic, this vision of a endlessly creative mind conjuring beautiful buildings from some eternal, internal well.  But *SPOILER ALERT* no one uses a drafting table anymore (except throwbacks and nostalgia lovers). In fact, I do all my sketching on a tablet. But there is another thing we do all the time...We spend A LOT of time answering questions. And that's why the next three episodes are going to focus on the questions I answer for clients, Ready to Remodel students…and you!Get the full show notes with all the trimmings at https://www.midmod-midwest.com/1206

We have a listener question that we're going to do for the podcast today on kitchen space planning. One of our listeners asked us a few questions on this issue and said “I don't think you can name names when it comes to appliances, but I'm wondering if you could touch on general considerations like how do I know what size range to buy?” We discuss different brands and answer another question about kitchen sink size and what to buy. We had a lot of fun with this one, so we hope you guys listen and enjoy! What range to buy 1:25The Cafe Stove from GE 10:15Buying a kitchen sink 12:40Counter depth or standard refrigerators? 15:00Splurging on an appliance like an ice maker, steam oven, or in-wall coffee machine 18:20Microwave placement and matching 23:40Hood size vs range size 30:00“I think you know when you're in a home, I'm in a small kitchen, I call it my camper kitchen because we haven't done anything to this house, because I wanna tear it down and I wanna build my dream kitchen, so right now I have a small kitchen, so anything larger than a 30” range wouldn't make sense in my kitchen. It wouldn't fit, so if you know you're a small kitchen, you know you're gonna be a 30 inch range, 36 range, probably not a 48 inch. If you're getting to a moderate sized kitchen, you can tease with 48 inches.” 1:43https://www.instagram.com/alicelaneinteriors/https://www.instagram.com/alicelanehome/https://alicelanehome.com/https://www.facebook.com/AliceLaneHomehttps://www.pinterest.com/alicelanehome/https://www.youtube.com/alicelanehomecollectionsaltlakecityNews Letter: https://manage.kmail-lists.com/subscriptions/subscribe?a=HZENWY&g=PFcqV5

Even if you haven't started building your house yet, you should start thinking about your furniture layout.  Furniture placement is important because it will dictate how good a room looks, how well it functions, and how easily you can move in and through the space.   If your rooms have beautiful furniture pieces, but they're arranged awkwardly, it will take away from the overall stylishness and functionality of your home.    Developing a good furniture layout early on will help you come up with a more accurate electrical plan where you can specify where electrical outlets for lamps, TVs, and other electronics—  an electrical plan that makes the most sense as it relates to the furniture that will be in the room.  So let's discuss some furniture placement/layout rules of thumb that you should consider way before you buy your furniture.  Show notes at BYHYU.com

Danya Hakky, Ph.D. is an Interior Designer and Design Researcher for Perkins Eastman, a global architecture and design firm. She is also a co-author of the recently published research paper, "The Subtle Art of Place Making," which sought to answer the question: Why do we still need to create meaningful places when virtual settings and interactions are on the rise?The findings of this research do two things really well.  First, it breaks down the fundamental role that place plays in our world today.  It also includes a collection of place attributes that have been cleverly broken into note cards -- These attribute cards serve as sort of a conversation toolkit that you can use to support your design discussions among colleagues or clients.  This conversation toolkit and research paper are free for you to engage with!Here's the link: https://www.perkinseastman.com/white-papers/the-subtle-art-of-placemaking/In our conversation with Danya, we hear her take on the purpose of place and the role of research in design.  There are some brilliant aha moments scattered across this conversation that we know you'll enjoy.Connect with Danya Hakky on LinkedIn: Sign-up to receive a FREE copy of the newest Imagine a Place journal:Connect with Doug Shapiro on LinkedIn:

Bill Beekman, Michigan State University vice president and director of athletics, welcomes Barb Kranz to MSU Today. Kranz is the director of Facilities Planning and Space Management at MSU and a person who many people at outside the university may not be familiar with. “But I can assure you that everybody inside the university knows Barb's name because she's the point person on all issues related to space, and space is a very critical issue at a university,” Beekman says. Facilities Planning & Space Management is responsible for Capital and Space Planning and Space Administration for the university, aligning space and physical resources with strategic vision to support MSU's core mission of teaching/learning, research, and outreach. “People need places to work, says Kranz. “We need to make sure we have classrooms for our students and other instructional spaces. We collaborate with Residential and Hospitality Services and Athletics. We look for ways to coordinate and leverage our space, financial and human resources. As we bring people together with our facility resources, we have policies, protocols, and procedures that we develop to help ensure our space resources are used the best they can be.” Kranz talks about the depth and breadth of research MSU faculty are involved in and what goes into finding faculty appropriate research space. She describes the new STEM building under construction on campus, too. Kranz has quite possibly set foot in every room on campus during her career and says her favorite locations are the lobbies at the Auditorium Building, both on the main auditorium side and on the Fairchild Theater side. “The North Kedzie lobby is also very beautiful as well. I would say those are three of my favorite spots of all of our spaces on campus.”MSU Today airs every Sunday morning at 9:00 on 105.1 FM, AM 870, and your smart speaker.
