Research On Pre-Evaluation And Post Occupancy Evaluation In Architectural Programming

As a complete subject which results from the development of the architectural market, architectural programming has an expansive foreground. From theoretical aspect, the integrity of the whole theory of the architectural programming needs to be strengthened. Post occupancy evaluation provides abundant experiences to the architectural programming, and programme review, one of the steps of building performance evaluation, feeds forward architectural programming which is one of the six major phases of building delivery and life cycle as well.The research of this thesis raises the concept of pre-evaluation in architectural programming. It feeds back the architectural programming according to the evaluation of the prediction of the conceptual design based on the post occupancy evaluation of existing buildings with the similar types. This thesis analyses the definition, process, framework, method of the pre-evaluation with several cases study, which also provides the premise for the advanced study.The thesis has two major parts. The first theoretical part describes the methodology, subject and utility of this paper and introduces architectural programming, post occupancy evaluation and building performance evaluation, and brings out the pre-evaluation in architectural programming. The second practical part introduces the process of post occupancy evaluation, describes the process, method, content of pre-evaluation with several cases study.
