This thesis is about the design-build project that was completed in spring semester 2005. It was initiated by five graduate students and Professor Bruce Bassler. This thesis covers the pre-design programming of the design-build project, which was a clubhouse for the Jewell Golf and Country Club in Jewell, Iowa. This design-build project brought to the forefront the notion that there are two distinct schools of thought when it comes to programming: the rigid data driven "assembly line" end versus the nebulous, emotive, "What does a building want to be?" end. As the programming was completed for this project, we pulled from these two schools of thought and landed somewhere in the middle, which is a direct by-product of out education in Architecture from Iowa State University. In my thesis, I describe this programming process, during which at various points I felt conflicted and pulled in different directions. The main point of conflict being that the Board of Jewell Golf and Country Club was primarily interested in the spaces they perceived they needed, not programming, while the design group wanted to explore the program more fully so that the space we designed had meaning. This thesis outlines the two schools of thought that we pulled from, the conflict that happened throughout, and the ultimate program of the project.
