Ask Grace Eun what she has learned in her three years as an associate at Clive Wilkinson Architects (CWA), and she’ll say, “Program first.” As long as clients are confident that the program for a new workplace meets their objectives,” Eun explains, “bringing in conceptual things is easy.” So she puts a lot of effort into that phase of a project, clarifying the purpose of every space. “I try to memorize all the programs by heart,” she says. “For Google’s headquarters, we have 1.1 million square feet, but if the clients ask me where some little room is and what its size is, I can remember.”
