The one on the left is a diagram of structure and circulation while the one on the right is a programmatic diagram.

How much space?

here are some examples of floor plans and square footage for visual reference, these are somewhat randomly chosen, but they show at least that if you had to specify spatial dimensions, what these might look like.
You won't be required to go into this much specificity yet, but when you look at them you do have a sense of scale which is important






Combining Program Combining Info

Hi all, here's an interesting bit from RHI:
http://rhicenter.org/
if you follow one of the links on resilience, it links to this
http://switchboard.nrdc.org/blogs/rkhosla/creating_resilient_cities_to_t.html

So RHI is an interesting hub of information, and this is part of how we can look at the program themes.

Inherently the themes won't be perfect, which is why we have to work on them for a little while.
