Physical Characteristics of the Site The arrangement of buildings and spaces on a site will influence the building ‘footprint’, private open space, semi-public open space, setbacks for amenity, street appearance, existing shade trees, access and parking, services and facilities. https://www.freelancer.com/u/tndstudio007/portfolio/Site-Analysis-6639818?w=f&ngsw-bypass= ARCH 302: Introduction to Architectural Engineering Original content by: Dr. Sahera Bleibleh 9 Step 2: Understand the Site • Understanding the site is critical in refining and shaping the eventual development. A site analysis process will help this understanding. • It enables both on-site and off-site constraints and opportunities to be identified. • A Site Analysis Plan will vary depending on the nature of the development, the size of the site and the prevailing context. • The site analysis establishes the development context, identifying and explaining graphically: 1.The key influences on the design; and 2.How the proposed development will relate to the immediate surroundings ARCH 302: Introduction to Architectural Engineering 10 Original content by: Dr. Sahera Bleibleh 9/4/2023 How the proposed development will relate to the immediate surroundings? Reference to street character is also important. Street character can provide important clues for successful integration and may influence site layout, landscape, alignment of the design of the proposed development in relation to the streetscape. https://www.re-thinkingthefuture.com/fresh-perspectives/a564-what-is-a-streetscape-and-why-architects-should-care/ https://www.firstinarchitecture.co.uk/architecture-site-analysis-guide-2/ ARCH 302: Introduction to Architectural Engineering Original content by: Dr. Sahera Bleibleh 11 Step 3: Prepare a Site Analysis Plan • A Site Analysis Plan is a critical tool in the design and assessment of development applications. • A Site Analysis Plan must be to scale and should identify development opportunities and constraints. • It should be used to influence the design of a development, to minimize negative impacts and compliment neighborhood character. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/76772368634856002/ ARCH 302: Introduction to Architectural Engineering 12 Original content by: Dr. Sahera Bleibleh 9/4/2023 Example of Site Analysis https://www.pinterest.com/pin/363736107388560539/ ARCH 302: Introduction to Architectural Engineering Original content by: Dr. Sahera Bleibleh 13 Example of Solar Study in Site Analysis https://bimbakery.co/product/sun-path-object/ https://www.pinterest.com/pin/166422148705551344/ ARCH 302: Introduction to Architectural Engineering 14 Original content by: Dr. Sahera Bleibleh 9/4/2023 Site analysis with Vehicular study https://www.firstinarchitecture.co.uk/architecture-site-analysis-guide-2/ https://www.archdaily.com/785806/student-housing-cf-moller/5715c546e58eceac8b00013a-student-housing-cf-moller-flows-diagram ARCH 302: Introduction to Architectural Engineering Original content by: Dr. Sahera Bleibleh 15 Site Analysis studying the pro and cons of existing facilities ARCH 302: Introduction to Architectural Engineering 16 Original content by: Dr. Sahera Bleibleh 9/4/2023 Site Analysis Plan A typical Site Analysis Plan might look like the plan on the right. It may also identify any important character attributes of the adjacent existing development. http://cavrep.com.au/S/SITEANALYSIS(PLAN).html ARCH 302: Introduction to Architectural Engineering Original content by: Dr. Sahera Bleibleh 17 Arial Photography of Site, UAEU. ARCH 302: Introduction to Architectural Engineering 18 Original content by: Dr. Sahera Bleibleh 9/4/2023 Step 4: Site Analysis Plan and Statement A Site Analysis Statement prepared by the applicant explaining how the design has responded to the Site Analysis Plan will greatly assist the design and assessment processes, resulting in a significant improvement in the quality of the development and should accompany the Site Analysis Plan. During the site analysis process: 1. Identify issues to consider in the design process; and 2. The design elements applicable to the particular development should be identified following the site analysis process and these elements should guide the design process.
