Site Planning

Fundamental of Site Planning with Basics of Computational tools

This is a bundle of two courses focusing on appropriating natural factors for Site Planning. Site planning is one of the most important steps which leads to an architectural intervention which is sensitive and rooted to the context. However site planning is not such a simple process but involves a thorough understanding of multiple aspects/layers and an overlap of these understandings. The broader layers in the process of site planning are site analysis,understanding the user and understanding the design brief. Each of these topics when studied in detail gives clues to the best possible solution in terms of site planning This course deals with the broader understanding of the aspect of natural layers which forms an integral part of site analysis and thus site planning. With the rapid rate of urbanization any intervention done by us needs to have a thorough understanding of how to sensitively deal with the natural layers of and around the site. This course is an attempt to do so to find clues to reach a sensitive design intervention.
