Site Analysis: Informing Context-Sensitive and Sustainable Site Planning and Design, 3rd Edition
Sustainable design is responsive to context. And each site has a unique set of physical, biological, cultural, and legal attributes that presents different opportunities and constraints for alternative uses of the site. Site analysis systematically evaluates these on-site and off-site factors to inform the design of places - including neighborhoods and communities - that are attractive, walkable, and climate-resilient.
This Third Edition of Site Analysis is fully updated to cover the latest topics in low-impact, location-efficient design and development.
This complete, user-friendly guide:
Blends theory and practice from the fields of landscape architecture, urban planning, architecture, geography, and urban design
Addresses important sustainability topics, including LEED-ND, Sustainable Sites, STAR community index, and climate adaptation
Details the objectives and visualization methods used in each phase of the site planning and design process
Explains the influence of codes, ordinances, and site plan approval processes on the design of the built environment
Includes more than 200 illustrations and eight case studies of projects completed by leading planning and design firms
