Architectural Site Analysis - Architecture Student Guide
PDF | 66 Pages | 56 MB

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. The result of this analytic process is a summary, usually a graphical sketch, which sets in relation the relevant environmental information with the morphology of the site in terms of parcel, topography, and built environment. This result is then used as a starting point for the development of environment-related strategies during the design process. Site Analysis is one of the most important and effective ways to find a concept. It helps us to think about analysis, form, mass, material, entrance, landscape, and much more.
