Program

In line with the goals of a Yielding Architecture, the program has been separated into rooted and evolving program types.

rooted_ known entities, or foundational programatic elements that the rest of the institution/program requires prior to their own evolution. These program elements have been grouped according to use type in order to maximize their potential yield [performance].

evolving_ the program types that are adaptable. The spaces in between the "rooted" program will be allowed to yield [evolve/adapt/change] according to the needs of the institution/public.

Tabulated Program


Analysis
The program groups were studied individually in order to maximize each units performance. Similarly, the relationships between each group type is studied to organize the program volumes.
