    This document discusses site analysis for architectural design. It states that site analysis involves taking an inventory of site elements like topography, climate, vegetation, and analyzing how they relate to the client's needs. It provides an example of how a 5 degree slope can help determine an ideal building location. The document also lists different factors to analyze in a site inventory, such as subsurface features, natural surface features, cultural/man-made features, and aesthetic factors. Understanding these site conditions and features through analysis is important for achieving a successful design.

    SITE ANALYSIS

    Site Analysis

    Introduction to Architectural
    Design

    By Sabeer Hamid
    ARE 202 Architectural Design-I
    Goal of site analysis
    SITE ANALYSIS

    • To achieve a successful design, site analysis is a must & should


    be done carefully
    • Site Analysis involves taking an inventory of site elements and
    analyzing these factors relative to the clients needs & aims
    • Gather relevant information about the properties of the site, from
    topography to climate to wind pattern and vegetation
    • Analyze these features and incorporate them into the design
    ARE 202 Architectural Design-I
    Example Site Condition:
    SITE ANALYSIS

    •Under Topography, 5 degree slope is noticed


    Analyzing the conditions,
    ideal location for building
    can be established

    High spot might be right


    for building & low spot
    for water body

    For prevailing hot winds,


    trees would act as buffer
    •Openings in building could be placed to absorb cooler winds

    SITE ANALYSIS

    • Subsurface Features
    – Geology: Geological history of the area, bedrock
    type & depth etc.
    – Hydrology: Underground water table, aquifers,
    springs etc.
    – Soil Genesis: erosion susceptibility, moisture (pF),
    reaction (pH) organic content, bearing capacity etc.

    • Natural Surface Features


    – Vegetation: Type, size, location, shade pattern,
    aesthetics, ecology etc.
    – Slopes: Gradient, landforms, elevations, drainage
    patterns
    – Wild Life: ecology, species etc.
    – Climate: precipitation, annual rain/snow, humidity,
    wind direction, solar intensity & orientation,
    average/highest/lowest temperature

    • Cultural & Man-made Features


    – Utilities: sanitary, water supply, gas, electrical etc.
    – Land use: Usage of site, adjacent use, zoning
    restrictions, easement etc.
    – Historic notes: archeological sites, landmarks, building
    type, size, condition
    – Circulation: linkages an transit roads, auto & pedestrian
    access, mass transit routes etc.
    – Social Factors: population, intensity, educational level,
    economic & political factors, ethnicity, cultural
    typology etc.

    • Aesthetic Factors:
    – Perceptual: from an auto, by pedestrian, by bike etc.
    – Spatial Pattern: views of the site, views from the site,
    spaces existing, potential for new areas, sequential
    relationship
    – Natural Features: significant natural features of the
    site, water elements, rock formations, plant materials
