Site Analysis

This document discusses elements of site analysis for design projects. It identifies both hard data and soft data that should be considered during site analysis. Hard data includes physical site characteristics like location, dimensions, contours, climate and vegetation. Soft data involves more subjective assessments like views from and of the site, neighborhood type, and sensory experiences of the area. The document emphasizes the importance of thorough site analysis at the beginning of a design project to understand both the tangible and intangible context of the space.
