 SITE PLANING
Site 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

1. SUB-SURFACE
2. NATURAL
3. CULTURAL MAN MADE FACTORS
4. 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
patterns
Wild 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
 ROADS
Roads 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 Service roads are usually located at
the institutional or public areas back of the building to be used for
where there are heads for services for example in a hotel back
secuiriPrivate roads are the main service area is used for moving in
road that connect the building to the the pantry items.
outer world these are the entrances
of the building
ty reasons or to separate them from
local public,
 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
ACCESS
Car access
Car access are the acces for
the cars in the building for
allowing cars to enter the
premises

Pedestrian access
Pedestrian access are
that ways built for the
people to enter the
premises and to walk in
Service access
Service access is the
access given for the
services that serves the
building services usually
at back of the building

Drop offs

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.
Emergency 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.
 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
 HARDSCAPE
Hardscape, 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
 SOFTSCAPE
Softscape 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.
