Unfit when: A standard unit plan is being repeated with no change of use
Space programme (room schedule)
Listed 2026-10-11 after research: the established method is architectural programming (Peña and Parshall, Problem Seeking: goals, facts, concepts, needs, problem statement). States each room’s intent and derives its area from use and from the behavioural basis of design (Robert Sommer, Personal Space) as well as from codes. Feeds the building model. Research pass 2 (2026-10-11): perceived crowding, persons per bedroom, privacy and layout predict outcomes better than floor area, so area is derived from them, not set first. No single area threshold is settled (physical-methodologies-research-2026-10-11).
