Site Planning encompasses different professions such Compositional Elements of landform, Planting, Water,
as, architecture, urban planning, landscape architecture Paving, and Buildings
and civil engineering.
SITE PLANNING- art & science of arranging structures on
the land. Site plans locate objects and activities in space
and time. May concern a small cluster of houses…
Example: Architect & Geodetic engineers work together
to accomplish the spaces. Geodetic engineers

As part of architectural document in securing building

permit.
We need to show at least 2 km from the building.
Parameters in Site Selection and Analysis
1. Site Analysis- is in many respects, the most
important step in the successful site design
process.
Purpose of Preliminary Site Analysis
- Gather data for preliminary planning
- Evaluate the site for compatibility

2. Site Characterization

it involves organization of
Land use zoning
Access
Circulation- roads, alleys, pedestrians
Privacy- what areas should be secured
 Physical- natural features
-

Biological- vegetation, wildlife

Cultural- culture present

Knowing the depth of the foundation of the building for

it to be stable.

Land use sustainability- what are the percentage

needed for water, land, spaces. Like in airports/ ridge?
Of tagaytay, there are limits for height of building.
There are limitation depending on the location.
Site planning

1. Fixing the space- main objective that dictate the

flow of traffic
We can create several schematic designs to compare.
- Image and form
Lot plans may be based on the schematic designs of
2. Defined enclosure- collection of independent
architects. Site plans can just be used for the site
structures
development.
3. Sense of order- form of a building where a place
may be fixed by enclosure of façades. Ex.
Lecture 2-GROUND FORM
Intramuros, agora of Corinth
Ground form- is the form of the ground/ topography
4. Axial form- kinetic implications of the word
Topographic Map-detailed and accurate graphic
“path” where it creates coherent…
representation of cultural….
Ex. UP Diliman
Programming and Feasibility
Contours- spacing of the lines indicate general
Parameters
steepness.
1. Users- vital support, sense of place
Ridge- lines directed downward into a side or both sides
2. Site selection- values, land use, location and
Valley-lines directed inward from 2 sides.
accessibility, legal aspects, site configuration,
Hill- lines in a circular manner, directed downward on all
physical characteristics, utilities, public services.
sides.
3. Site features- ecology, soil, landscaping, utilities,
Depression- lines in a circular
landform, adjoining structures
4. Regulations

Techniques for Analysis

1. Direct Observation
2. Indirect Observation- past records, archives
3. Precedents(previous experience)
4. Current Events Information
5. Traces (destroyed curbs, floodwater lines)
6. Formal studies
7. Behavior Setting/ Movement Systems
8. Direct Communication (interviews)
9. Images
10. Preferences (choices, memories)
%Slope= Vertical distance/ Horizontal distance

To alter/ modify a site

CUT AND FILL
Cut area- areas where soil is removed
Fill area- area where soil is added

Baffle- to protect your house from pollution/ floodwater

by putting trees around the house.
Level Site-

Disadvantages- we still need to create a slope for

drainage systems.
- We need to create slopes in case of flooding.

Laguna.
