This was because client participation is so critical to the success of projects. However, practicing architects and architecture students discovered that first booklet, and as a result, it was used in 1973 by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards as a basis for the predesign part of the professional exam. The second edition, then, was written for clients, as well as architects and students. With that edition, the Problem Seeking method joined a long list of programming methods being introduced in the late 1970s. The third edition, published in 1987, recognized that traditional architectural services had expanded to include predesign programming at the beginning of a client’s decision-making process and building evaluation services at the end. Postoccupancy evaluation makes the client’s role even more vital in reaching decisions on which architects can base sound design solutions and can test them after the building is occupied. In 1994 Hellmuth, Obata + Kassabaum (HOK) acquired CRSS Architects, which had evolved from the original firm of Caudill, Rowlett and Scott (CRS). Now HOK is undertaking the publication of this fourth edition of Problem Seeking. HOK’s practice was founded on the same principle as CRS— both firms viewed design as problem solving. Furthermore, many of the principles and techniques presented in this book can be attributed to Bill Caudill, one of the founders of CRS, and an AIA Gold Medalist. More importantly, the broad range of principles and techniques presented in this book has evolved over a long period of architectural practice. They are not the product of one person, but the accumulated efforts of many members of CRS and now HOK. We are proud to continue the tradition of involving and interacting with clients in architectural programming as the first step of the design process.

The first edition in 1969 was based on 20 years of research and practice in architectural programming. The subsequent editions evolved over the next 30 years through changes in communication techniques and expanded scope of applications, although the theory remained intact. This edition, then, has the advantage of experience of some 50 years of professional application — indicating a practice-tested validity. This is a two-part book. Part One is a primer on programming. It is written to help you understand one programming method, whether you are an architect, a student, or a client getting ready to start a building project. Part Two is the appendix — a collection of definitions, examples, considerations, activities, and techniques that expands upon the principles explained in the primer. What is new in this edition? Throughout Part One, we inserted quotes from speeches by Willie Peña to enrich one’s understanding of problem seeking. In response to client interest in participation and consensus building through programming, we added sections on ways of thinking and effective group action, again based on speeches given by Willie Peña. Duncan Sutherland coined the term “officing,” and in 1987 he and Steve Parshall published Officing: Bringing Amenity and Intelligence to Knowledge Work. Soon after, Martha Whitaker published an HOK print forum on Alternative Officing, which led to an International Facility Management Association (IFMA) research report on Alternative Officing, defining emerging types of officing settings. Summarizing this work, we added six officing settings to the section on programming concepts. In light of new forms of electronic publishing, Part Two, The Appendix, has undergone a major rewrite, not only to add new material, but also to improve the reader’s ability to find supplemental information when undertaking a programming assignment. Page 9 We expanded the glossary and examples in the section On Needs. It includes broader definitions of area and methods of measurement that are consistent with industry standards. We provided a set of building efficiency factors that are related to the area of definitions and that explain the mathematical relationships among them. Along with updated building costs, we added further explanation of the relationship between building costs and interior fit- up costs, including considerations for renovation projects. More clients are using financial analysis for selecting programmatic options; therefore, we added a primer on discounted cash flow analysis and net present value analysis to complement the section on cost estimating. We organized the problem statement examples so that they are referenced by project phase (master plan, schematic design, interior design) as well as building type. We reworked the section on programming activities to provide a better reference to the discussion of degrees of programming and type of deliverable to be produced. By moving the section on typical programming activities, we provided a better focus to the section on useful techniques. Beginning with the use of questionnaires, this section covers data management, functional relationship analysis, updated sections on brown sheets and analysis cards, and a new section on electronic presentations. Finally, the reformatting of pages anticipates the future electronic publication and access to a living document of tools, techniques, and guidelines for the advanced programmer. William M.

MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN “There is perhaps no greater measure of “a school’s success than for its graduates “to command the respect of those whom “they were prepared to serve.” Each year the College of Architecture at Texas A&M University hosts a special event honoring the many extraordinary former students who over the years have laid the foundation on which the college has built a tradition of excellence through academics and research. The Outstanding Alumni Award is the highest honor the college bestows on its former students. There is perhaps no greater measure of a school’s success than for its graduates to command the respect of those whom they were prepared to serve. The former students we honor this year, as well as those recognized previously, have not only gained the respect of their peers, but have been acclaimed as pioneers in their respective fields. They have advanced their professions with new knowledge wrought through innovation, extraordinary talent, and hard work.

STACKABLE Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON May 2006 Copyright © by Natalie A. Stackable 2006 All Rights Reserved ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Lewis T. May so thoughtfully provided his time, project materials and insights which have enabled the creation of this thesis. I would also like to thank Ken Bailey, his studio manager for working with me to schedule visits and interviews and ensuring that I received the necessary information to complete this thesis. I also need to thank his associates who gave of their time: Nancy Fleshman, Verrick Walker, Sandy Lynch, Richard Rome, Van Cox, and M. David Low. Without these folks, it would not have been possible to obtain a full and complete understanding of the many roles and contributions May has made to the field. Additionally, I would like to thank my committee chair, Gary O. Robinette and the other committee members, Dr. Pat Taylor and David Hopman for having faith in my ability to complete the thesis while I resided three hundred miles away from their expertise and guidance. Last, but certainly not least, my husband, Phil, for encouraging me to remain focused and helping me overcome the obstacles I encountered during this process. This exegesis would not have been possible without his support and faith in allowing me to attend the MLA program at the University of Texas at Arlington while he remained back at the homestead in Houston.
