OBJECTIVES:
To teach the importance of site and its content in architectural creations
To orient the students towards several influencing factors which govern the siting of a
building or group of buildings in a given site.
To teach various techniques of site analysis through exercises and case studies.
To teach the students the methodology of preparing a site analysis diagram. This will
serve as a prelude to any architectural creation through exercises.
