ANALYSIS PHASE
care of by the architect.
The next step involves integrating site and use functions. Numerous
site elements related to a site such as access, shape, surroundings,
etc. are being studied and analyzed.
SYNTHESIS PHASE
After analysis, a program is developed as a solution to the problem
at hand. This phase deals with schematic design of a site plan.
LOCATION
The site should be related to existing roads and
landmarks. Time and distance from major nodes
should be recorded.
NEIGHBORHOOD
CONTEXT
Zoning of the neighborhood is
ELEMENTS
important and information could be
found with municipal authorities.
Numerous issues such as architectural
patterns, street lighting, condition of
existing buildings must be observed.
This would also include the immediate
surroundings of the site.
SUBSURFACE NATURAL MAN MADE
This includes the analysis of Most of this information will Created by humans such as
geology,hydrology, and soil be derived from topographic buildings, walls, fences,
genesis. features on the site and its plazas, bus stops, shelters,
vegetation. etc. shall be carefully
recorded on maps.
SIZE AND ZONING
Land use of site, adjacent use, zoning restrictions, and easement. Site boundaries can be located
by either verifying the dimensions physically or through map records of land.
CIRCULATION
Study of important nodes and linkages, The
use of streets, roads, alleys, sidewalks, and
plazas are important.
UTILITIES
Includes power, sewage network, gas network,
and water supply. Availability and proximity to
sources are to be examined.
SENSORY
Aerial photography, sketching,
visual surveys, and other methods
of direct observation to be
employed. Sensory elements
such as noise, odors, smoke, and
pollutant areas must be detected
and recorded.
EXAMPLE OF SITE CONDITION
Under topography, 5 degree
slope is noticed.
Analyzing the conditions, ideal
location for building can be
established.
High spot might be right for
building and low spot for
water body.
For prevailing hot winds,
tress would act as buffer.
LANDSCAPE
ARCHITECTURE
Landscape architecture is the design of outdoor
areas, landmarks, and structures to achieve
environmental, social-behavioral, or aesthetic
outcomes.
Landscape architects are both “artists” and “doctors” to the outdoor spaces. They not only add
beautifications to the land, but also solve complex environmental problems and create a quality
environment for people’s health and well-being.
CONCEPT DESIGN
Typically, the main features of landscape design are shown - for instance, the different garden
areas and their relationship to neighboring areas, main features and main trees.
SPATIAL PATTERNS
Defined as open space of a given site is configured
according to an arrangement of elements that evoke
activity or flow, both physically or visually.
