💡 Learn How To Create Architectural Site Analysis & Context Reading!

What is Site Analysis?

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.
