- Abstract:
Strategic considerations for designers and clients. The authors explore strategic issues in briefing, design and operation of buildings and their services. Feedback from post- occupancy surveys suggests a need for better integration, less complication, and robust rather than optimum performance, with a concentration on ends rather than means. Emphasis must be given to usability, manageability and minimizing downside risks
