Episode notes

Two crucial aspects to consider in church design are budget and programming. Having a realistic budget range from the beginning helps avoid over-designing and ensures execution. By prioritizing elements based on budget constraints, such as creating a compelling story through cost-effective means like murals and door wraps, impactful designs can be achieved even with smaller budgets. Programming involves detailed spreadsheet calculations to determine space requirements based on factors like the number of people, children, classrooms, parking needs, and service times. Balancing budget and programming ensures effective storytelling and functionality in church design.
