Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Chris Hall

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Catharine Cellier-Smart Mar 23, 2010:
My note got cut off ... ... and I've tried to repost three times without success so here is the follow-on from what got cut off below :
"The programmatic block will consist of student dormitories that will be accompanied by various venues necessary for student living, such as dining halls and school/musical supply stores. ... The programmatic block would consist of classrooms, private practice rooms, a music library/archive, and administrative offices. ... The space itself has the feel of the gate to the underworld, and will not only serve as the unifying link between the two programmatic blocks of the conservatory, but also as a link between the riverfront below and the high city above".

P.S. Sorry to use the discussion part to post the rest of an answer but there seems to be a bug somewhere.

programmatic blocks

This would seem to be the French literal translation of the English term "programmatic block".

see
"EE&K Architects
Conceived as a prototypical “kit-of-parts” comprised of five programmatic blocks , PS7 illustrates the use of these blocks to address the varied scale of the adjacent context".
