The research\r\nmethods used include an archival study of RIBA Client Design Advisor statements\r\non briefing, a questionnaire on the content of construction briefs, unstructured\r\ninterviews and a syntactic analysis of three generic briefs: government design\r\nguidance on magistrates’ courts (CSDG 2004), primary schools (BB99 2004), and\r\nacute mental health units (HBN 35 1996). The findings suggest that architects\r\nconceptualise the briefing process in at least 3 different ways and use a wide\r\nrange of techniques to elicit information from the client. That a high proportion of\r\nconstruction briefs (in this study) include client attitudes and values with spatial\r\nimplications and reference to spatial relationships in terms of permeability,\r\nvisibility, intelligibility and control. And that generic briefs do encode meaningful\r\nregularities between syntactic measures and institutional attitudes towards\r\ndifferent categories of building user. Despite recommendations that briefing\r\nshould start early and continue throughout the project, this study indicates that\r\nin practice briefing is often separated from the design process. It is argued\r\ntherefore that the cultural content of a construction brief should be made explicit\r\nso that informed decisions can be made regarding its validity and applicability.\r\nThe findings of this study indicate that space syntax methodology could be used\r\nto this end. However, this proposition would need to be tested with a larger\r\nsample of construction briefs before this could be asserted with any confidence.\r\nFinally, further study is proposed into the circumstances in which the benefits of\r\nusing generic design guidance, briefing templates and standard briefs outweigh\r\nthe costs. It is suggested that this could draw on the ideas of transaction costs\r\nand human error theory."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/4978> <http://purl.org/dc/terms/date> "2007-09-14" . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/document/1904> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://purl.org/ontology/bibo/Document> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/org/ext-a64c3df5861c6582807add1abaadf2af> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Organization> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/org/ext-a64c3df5861c6582807add1abaadf2af> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name> "UCL (University College London)"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/4978> <http://purl.org/dc/terms/issuer> <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/org/ext-a64c3df5861c6582807add1abaadf2af> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/org/ext-b793ac3c10d3871e2f02f2a9212b6b71> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Organization> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/org/ext-b793ac3c10d3871e2f02f2a9212b6b71> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name> "Bartlett School of Graduate Studies, Space Syntax Laboratory, UCL (University College London)"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/org/ext-b793ac3c10d3871e2f02f2a9212b6b71> <http://purl.org/dc/terms/isPartOf> <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/org/ext-a64c3df5861c6582807add1abaadf2af> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/4978> <http://purl.org/dc/terms/issuer> <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/org/ext-b793ac3c10d3871e2f02f2a9212b6b71> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/org/ext-a64c3df5861c6582807add1abaadf2af> <http://purl.org/dc/terms/hasPart> <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/org/ext-b793ac3c10d3871e2f02f2a9212b6b71> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/4978> <http://purl.org/ontology/bibo/status> <http://purl.org/ontology/bibo/status/unpublished> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/4978> <http://purl.org/dc/terms/creator> <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/person/ext-21ef8bdc3a60ad775e253e73ffcf9005> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/4978> <http://purl.org/ontology/bibo/authorList> <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/4978#authors> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/4978#authors> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#_1> <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/person/ext-21ef8bdc3a60ad775e253e73ffcf9005> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/person/ext-21ef8bdc3a60ad775e253e73ffcf9005> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Person> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/person/ext-21ef8bdc3a60ad775e253e73ffcf9005> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/givenName> "E."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/person/ext-21ef8bdc3a60ad775e253e73ffcf9005> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/familyName> "Gribble"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/person/ext-21ef8bdc3a60ad775e253e73ffcf9005> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name> "E.
