DESIGN THINKING
Site Analysis is a vital step in the design process. It involves the evaluation of an existing or
potential site in relation to:
• The development programme,
• Environmental impact,
• Impacts on the community
• Adjacent properties,
• Project budget
• Schedule.
• Environmental constraints and opportunities
• Developmental constraints and opportunities.

A well-executed site analysis forms the essential foundation for a cost effective, environmentally
sensitive, and rational approach to project development. Analysis of the building programme and
the ability of the site to accommodate it, combined with assessment of political, environmental
and regulatory issues, reveals the development potential of a parcel of land.
Why is this required…??
 WHEN DOES ONE NEED A SITE ANALYSIS…??
• One may have defined a building programme and be in search of a site. OR
• One may have selected a site and be interested in fitting a development programme to it.
• In yet another case one may have a site and programme in hand and be seeking the most efficient,
economical and environmentally sensitive approach to site development.
• One may be already owning or considering the purchase of an undeveloped or underdeveloped property
and seeks site analysis to accurately define the general development potential and market value of the
property.

As part of site analysis special studies may be required. Examples are utilities studies, environmental
impact studies, historic resources inventories, and studies of special opportunities such as the construction
of co-generation plants or solid waste disposal systems.
A good site analysis will enable the client to exploit the full potential of a site. Effective planning and zoning
assistance can maximize the potential for regulatory approvals and significantly reduce the owner’s risk
of economic loss.
Consultants with planning or real estate backgrounds are frequently part of the site analysis team. Other
disciplines normally involved include landscape architects and civil, power and geotechnical engineers/
other specialists required may include traffic engineers or traffic planners, hydrologists, economic
analysts, environmental or wildlife scientists, archaeologists, historians, real estate attorneys, or
programming specialists.
1. LOCATION
• Where is the site located?
• How is the site approached?
• How far is the major junction?
• Are there any traffic and parking issues?
• Existing major streets
• Landmarks
• Aerial photographs help
• Documentation of distances and time from major places
• Verified by either driving or walking first – hand
2. NEIGHBOURHOOD CONTEXT
• Zoning of the neighbourhood as per the municipal planning dept/ master plan.
• Observation of architectural patterns
• Street lighting
• Condition of existing buildings
• Immediate surroundings of the site
• Reaction of the surrounding buildings towards the site
• Analyze movement of people around the site
• Landmarks and nodes (Nodes are key public gathering places that encourage people to linger and
socialize
• Prominent vision lines / visual linkages
• Locally available resources
3. SITE & ZONING
• Verify site boundaries by physical measurement or thru the tax accessor’s office
• Zoning classification
• Set-back requirements
• Height restrictions
• Allowable site coverage
• Uses permitted
• Parking requirement
• Social and political boundaries

4. LEGAL ELEMENTS
• Property description
• Present ownership – free hold/lease hold/ lisenciate – by govt or private (POA)
• Governmental jurisdiction In which the site is located
5. NATURAL PHYSICAL FEATURES
• Topographical features of the site thru contour map
• Site drainage
• Existing natural features of
• Trees – size, type, diameter, height, spread of roots, falling of leaves, water requirement, soil
nourishment. (1 eucalyptus tree consumes almost 500 gallons of water)
• ground cover,
• ground texture,
• soil type and soil conditions (particularly black cotton soil, clayey soil)
• IS4326 codes for construction in sesmic zone IV. Add sand filling at the bottom. The crack will
not advance towards structure. Bands will check vertical spread of crack. Have r.c.c. roofing as a
diaphragm
• rock formations
• location of swamps, marshes etc
• biological considerations. Promote aqua life. Bio- diversity zone
6. MAN-MADE FEATURES
• features located on site such as
• buildings
• walls
• fences
• patios
• plazas
• bus stop shelters
• site and location of these features can be directly measured
• documentation of existing historical districts/buildings/features should be made
• ( have a planned city not a planted city)
7. CIRCULATION
• make an inventory of streets, roads, alleys, sidewalks & plazas
• observe what activities happen on these circulation gateways
• promote ground percolation in paved areas.

8. UTILITIES – on or around the site

get a print of the location of government utility lines serving the site:
• sewage – residual capacity available for the site at the external source
• drainage
• potable water supply
• electricity supply
• solid waste disposal
• water hydrants/fire stations – as per population sizes
9. SENSORY COMPONENTS
• first hand sketching and photographs (sometime aerial photos)
• direst observation of
• noise
• odour
• smoke
• pollutant areas nearby

10. HUMAN & CULTURAL COMPONENTS

• census statistics of the neighborhood
• activities among people on the site and their inter relationships
11. CLIMATIC COMPONENTS
• orientation – with respect to - sun path and wind direction
• temperature
• Average yearly temperature, average monthly temperature, max. and minimum temp range thru the
seasons.
• Is it a heating or a cooling climate?
• Should solar heat gain be maximized or minimized?
• Wind
• intensity & direction thru the year
• wind direction may vary from place to place inside the site and thus should be checked from a few
different places esp. if the site is large. (book by Ar C.P. Kukreja)
11. CLIMATIC COMPONENTS
• Humidity & Relative humidity
• Precipitation and Hydrology
• Average annual rainfall
• Peak hourly rainfall
• Spread of rainfall thru the year
• Drainage patterns of site – whether it stagnates or flows along natural slopes
• Location of water bodies- ponds, lakes, rivers – if seasonal or perinneal
• Depth of Water table
• Quality of ground water
• HFL - highest flood level – no imp building should be below the HFL
 WHAT TO TAKE WITH YOU?

 Camera – essential.

• Make sure you take pictures of everything. Also, make sure you
get some shots of the site from a distance so you can use them.
• It is so frustrating when you go to the trouble of visiting a site
and come back wishing you had taken more pictures.
• Don’t be embarrassed about taking pictures if it is in a built up
area. No one cares what you are doing!
 WHAT TO TAKE WITH YOU?

 Note book.
• Really important to be able to jot down any observations.

 Tape measure.
• Some sites may be close to hazards or situations where you
will need to measure the proximity.
 WHAT TO TAKE WITH YOU?

 Good weather!
• If you have a choice of when to visit the site try to pick
a day when there is a bit of blue sky around. It will look
better for your site photos, particularly if you are
planning on using them in future presentations.
Views from the site
 The Altitude of the sun is different
through out the year, for that
reason the surroundings of the site
cast different patterns of shadows.
Which is something very
important to consider before
designing.

Shadows in summer are

shorter than shadows in
winter.

Shadows in the
afternoon is shorter
than shadows in the
morning or evening.
DIAGRAM
 WHAT IS DIAGRAM?

• Diagram is the process of abstracting and simplifying an idea so that it can be

easily understood
• It is a record of physical and spatial features that define the unique and
distinctive features of a building, site or program
 WHY IS DIAGRAM?

• An architect's language is generally drawings, so basically instead of using a

lot of text why don1t you show your ideas with simple drawings like diagrams?
• and because the architec­ture reviewer of your work would like to see the
process of your work not just the result!
 DIAGRAM

• It is all about clarity and reduction of thought

• Giving a range of different lenses to provide insight into particular project
• Diagrams facilitate the quick discovery of alternative solutions to a problem in
early stages of development .
• Diagrams doesn't only analyze the physical, but also reveal the context,
background and a lot more.
• Diagrams also make it easier to understand how some seemingly unrelated
works can actually be put together thematically as an inventory of relevant
conditions.
 DIAGRAM

• Diagrams creation is a method of showing the design process itself. and Visual
language is the medium between thought and reality as sketches and diagrams
represent and reflect what the designer wants them to reflect.
• Diagram are not only a method of visual representation but also a method of
solving problems
• Diagramming plays a important role in the entire design process, starting from
basic bubble diagrams made during the beginning of the design process, to
different architectural aspects of design
• Diagram are used as communications tools, and they can also be used as a way of
testing different concept quickly
 REASON

• Drawings can be hard for the public and clients to understand, so we use
diagrams to explain the most important parts of the “concept” using simple
drawings that everyone can get easily
• And by removing all the other details that can make the concept harder to see,
the public can see your idea clearly.
