Programming Questionaire for Non-residential Carpet

Many years ago I wrote a programming questionaire, designed to discover the basic and subtle flooring challenges in any particular function area of a non-residential building.   I hope to use this blog to rewrite that questionere. 

It is important in the beginning to break the space into function areas; that is, areas where the activities of the occupants are much the same.  Examples: general office space, conference rooms, elevator lobbies.  Many specification errors are made because of a lack of depth in this study.  The complex activities in hotels, senior living, restaurants, theaters, hospitals, and libraries require careful definition of requirements.  Designers may shy away from multiple patterns, in part because of the difficulty of designing with pattern on pattern. 

More to come......
