Turn a client's wishes into an architectural brief that can actually be designed against — the accommodation schedule, the adjacencies, the budget reality, and the constraints named before they become change orders. Use when asked to write an architectural brief, prepare a project brief for a building, run a client briefing, or capture requirements for a new build or refurbishment. Produces the accommodation schedule with areas, the adjacency and circulation requirements, the site and statutory constraints, the budget and programme reality check, and the explicit exclusions.

# Architectural Programme Brief

Clients brief in rooms and adjectives; buildings are designed from areas, adjacencies and constraints. The gap between the two is where scope creep lives. This converts the conversation into a schedule you can design against, tests the budget against the areas before anyone draws anything, and writes down what the project is not — the single most valuable page in any brief.

## What This Skill Produces

- **An accommodation schedule** — every space with its area, occupancy, and the activity it must support
- **Adjacency and circulation requirements** — what must be near what, what must never be, and the routes between
- **Site and statutory constraints** — planning context, access, orientation, services, and known designations
- **Performance requirements** — servicing, acoustics, daylight, accessibility, and environmental targets, stated as requirements rather than aspirations
- **The budget and programme reality check** — the area total against the budget at a realistic rate, before design begins
- **Explicit exclusions** — what this project is not doing, agreed and written down
