Site Analysis
A comprehensive assessment of the site helps the architect to make the most of the building's natural
resources, such light, accessibility, and views, which enhances the overall design. It may also allow the
architect to plan for whatever challenges that might come up throughout the design process. The site's
behavioral analysis, which takes into consideration the wind, sun, and noise levels, is shown in the above
picture.
