Site Analysis

What Will Learn?

  • Course Aims
    The course aims to provide the students with the academic and practical knowledge to analyse and evaluate project locations. This is achieved through an empirical study of one of the actual project locations. The study includes the analysis of the site, the neighbourhood context, size and zoning, legal documentation, natural and man-made features, circulation networks, utility networks, sensory, human and culture and climate. By the end of the course, the student can prepare and analyse all spatial site conditions and produce needed maps, graphics, and databases.
