SITE PLANINGSite planning refers to the organizational stage of the

landscape design process. It involves the organization of land use zoning, access, circulation and other factors. This is done by arranging the compositional elements of landform, planting, water, buildings and paving in site plans.

Site planning generally begins by assessing a potential site for development through site analysis. Information about slope, soils, hydrology, vegetation, parcel ownership, orientation, etc. are assessed and mapped. By determining areas that are poor for development (such as floodplain or steep slopes) and better for development, the planner or architect can assess optimal location and design a structure that works within this space.

SITE PLANING

SITE ANALYSIS• To achieve a successful design, site analysis is a

must & should be done carefully

• Site Analysis involves taking an inventory of site elements and analyzing these factors relative to the clients needs & aims

• Gather relevant information about the properties of the site, from topography to climate to wind pattern and vegetation

• Analyze these features and incorporate them into the design

SITE ANALYSIS

ANALYSIS1. SUB-SURFACE2. NATURAL3. CULTURAL MAN MADE FACTORS4. AESTHETIC FACTORS

Sub Surface Features• Geology: Geological history of the area,

bedrock type & depth etc.• Hydrology: Underground water table,

aquifers, springs etc.• Soil Genesis: erosion susceptibility, moisture

(pF), reaction (pH) organic content, bearing capacity etc.

Natural Surface Features

Vegetation: Type, size, location, shade pattern, aesthetics, ecology etc.Slopes: Gradient, landforms, elevations, drainage patternsWild Life: ecology, species etc.Climate: precipitation, annual rain/snow, humidity, wind direction, solar intensity & orientation, average/highest/lowest temperature

Cultural & Man-made Features

• Utilities: sanitary, water supply, gas, electrical etc.• Land use: Usage of site, adjacent use, zoning

restrictions, easement etc.• Historic notes: archeological sites, landmarks,

building type, size, condition• Circulation: linkages an transit roads, auto &

pedestrian access, mass transit routes etc.• Social Factors: population, intensity,

educational level, economic & political factors, ethnicity, cultural typology etc.

Utilities Circulation

Land usage

Aesthetic Factors• Perceptual: from an auto, by pedestrian, by

bike etc.• Spatial Pattern: views of the site, views from

the site, spaces existing, potential for new areas, sequential relationship.• Natural Features: significant natural features

of the site, water elements, rock formations, plant materials.

BUILDING

Building is the key element of the landscape all elements or directly indirectly connected to the building. Pathways are connected to the building to serve it purpose.

Main building is key of the whole planning it’s the place that’s being landscaping is done for. Thus main building is to be planned at first position in site process of site planning.

Main Building

ROADSRoads are the connectivity part of the site planning roads connects and form a grid for movement of people.

• Private roads• VIPs' road

• Service road

Private roads are the main road that connect the building to the outer world these are the entrances of the building

VIPs roads are commonly seen in the institutional or public areas where there are heads for secuiriPrivate roads are the main road that connect the building to the outer world these are the entrances of the buildingty reasons or to separate them from local public,

Service roads are usually located at back of the building to be used for services for example in a hotel back service area is used for moving in the pantry items.

WALKWAYS

Pedestrian walkways are the connective grids of the building that allows pedestrian to walk around the building or to the building. Landscaping these walkways is very important part of site planning because these are the places of physical movement of the people.

Design of a walkway

ACCESSCar access are the acces for the cars in the building for allowing cars to enter the premises

Pedestrian access are that ways built for the people to enter the premises and to walk in

Car access

Pedestrian access

Service access is the access given for the services that serves the building services usually at back of the building

Drop offs are the dropping point where the people are checked out of the premises and thus used as a cya point or exiting area.

Drop offs

Service access

Emergency access are the basic recruitment of the building in any case of mishappening these serves as a very good access to save peaple.

Emergency access

LANDSCAPE Landscape architecture is the design of outdoor public

areas, landmarks, and structures to achieve environmental, social-behavioral, or aesthetic outcomes. It involves the systematic investigation of existing social, ecological, and geological conditions and processes in the landscape, and the design of interventions that will produce the desired outcome.

• HARDSCAPE• SOFTSCAPE

HARDSCAPEHardscape, in the practice of landscaping, refers to the 

paved areas like streets & sidewalks large business complexes & housing, and other industrial areas where the upper soil profile is no longer exposed to the actual surface of theEarth. The term is especially used in heavily urbanized or suburban areas with little bare soil.

HARDSCAPE

SOFTSCAPESoftscape refers to the elements of a landscape that

comprise live, horticultural elements. Softscaping can include, flowers, plants, shrubs, trees, flower beds, etc.. The purpose of softscape is to lend character to the landscaping, create an aura, ambience, and reflect the sensibilities of the inhabitants.

The term softscape stands in contrast to hardscape which represents inanimate objects of a landscape such as pavers, stones, rocks, etc.

SOFTSCAPE

PURPOSE To learn and practice a logical method of fitting design

programs and sites harmoniously. To understand interaction of following factors in design process.

i. Natural factors (landscape), ii. Socio-economic forces (planning), and iii. Technological functions (architecture & engineering)• To Understand the site development process by observing

natural and human factors affecting the form and appearance of the environment.

• To collect information and data concerning planning or design issue

• To classify and analyze the data.• To make recommendations for issues at hand. • To draw up guidelines for planning, architecture and landscape

disciplines.
