 • SITE CONTEXT
• The surrounding land use
• Existing building around the site
• The incompatible land use may
lead to creation of the issues in
the design.
• The height and setbacks of
adjacent buildings are important in
affecting the flow of air and also
sunlight.
 AESTHETIC AND PHYSICAL
CONSIDERATION
• Aesthetic is define as a set of
principles of appreciation of beauty.
And it deals with the appearance.
• Ergonomics considered as the
scientific study of man machine-
working environment.
• Work physiology sets work-rest
cycles according to the energy
expanded in varios part of the job.
SITE CONTEXT
 Site analysis
• Site analysis is a preliminary phase of
architectural and urban design pro of
a specific site.
• Location : The site should be related
to major streets or landmarks
previously existing.
• Aerial photographs help in this
assessment stage. There should be
documentation of distances and time
from major places.
 Neighborhood context
• Zoning of the neighborhood is important and
information of this type can typically be found
at the municipal planning department of the
site.
• Features of this sort include architectural
patterns, street lighting, and condition of
existing buildings. This would also include
the immediate surroundings of the site.
• The reaction of the surrounding buildings
towards the site and people moving around
should be analysed.
• Other important components of the
neighbourhood context include an analysis of
existing paths (pedestrian, cyclist, and
vehicle), landmarks and nodes.
• Landmarks are distinctive sites that provide
way-finding for people in the area, and which
define the character of a neighbourhood.
Nodes are key public gathering places that
encourage people to linger and socialize.
 Size and zoning
• Site boundaries can be located by either
verifying the dimensions physically or
contacting the county tax assessor’s
office.
• Zoning classifications, set-backs, height
restrictions, allowable site coverage,
uses, and parking requirements are
obtained by obtaining zoning
classifications from a zoning map, which
can be located from the city planning
department.
• Infrastructure, social, and political
boundaries.
• Legal : Typical legal information
can be obtained from the deed to
the property.
• The deed is held by the owner of
the title insurance company. In
the deed is information such as
the property description, present
ownership, and the governmental
jurisdiction the site is located in,
and the city or county.
• Natural physical features : Most of
this information will be derived from
the topographic features on the site.
• A contour map of this magnitude can
be located from the survey engineer.
• Drainage problems as well as
existing natural features of trees,
ground cover, ground texture, and
soil conditions on the site should be
directly observed.
 Man made features
• Features located on the site such as
buildings, walls, fences, patios, plazas,
bus stop shelters should be noted.
• The site and location of such features
should be directly measured.
Documentation of existing historical
districts should be made, some of which
may already have reports completed.
• Locating this information can be done
through the municipal planning
department for the site.
 Circulation
• The uses of streets, roads, alleys,
sidewalks, and plazas are
important in this inventory step.
• It is not necessarily an analysis
of these elements but more an
analysis of what occurs on these
circulation gateways.
Circulation
 Utilities
• Information for utilities concerning
the site can be found through the
utility departments and companies in
the local area.
• Generally, the company has a print of
the drawing of this information
needed. Information in this print
includes the location of all utilities
and their locations around or on the
site itself.
 Sensory
• Much of the sensory information
collected will be done through first
hand experience.
• The information is obtained from
sketching and photographs
(sometimes aerial photographs).
• Direct observation of other sensory
elements of noise, odors, smoke, and
pollutant areas must also be
completed.
 Human and cultural
• This information can be obtained
through census statistics on the
neighborhood.
• Information regarding these
statistics is available from the
local municipal planning agency.
This information includes activities
among people on the site and their
relationships to these activities.
 Climate
• This information can be obtained
through the local weather service.
• Conditions such
as rainfall, snowfall, humidity,
and temperature over months
must be considered and analyzed.
• The sun-path and vertical sun
angles throughout an entire year
are important to note.
• Site analysis is a preliminary phase of
architectural and urban design
processes dedicated to the study of
the climatic, geographical, historical,
legal, and infrastructural context of a
specific site. development codes are
being met and as y historical resource.
• A site plan is an architectural plan,
landscape architecture document, and
a detailed engineering drawing of
proposed improvements to a given lot.
• Site planning in landscape
architecture and architecture
refers to the organizational stage
of the landscape design process.
It involves the organization of
land use zoning, access,
circulation, privacy, security,
shelter, land drainage, and other
factors.
