This new edition of the only programming guide appropriate for both architect and client features new ways of thinking about programming, new strategies for effective group action, and new settings in which to explore programming concepts. Supplemented with more than 120 helpful illustrations and diagrams, this indispensable resource provides updated technical information and faster, easier access to explanations, examples, and tools, including:
∗ Updated building costs and their relationship to interior fit–up costs
∗ A primer on discounted cash flow analysis and net present value analysis
