SITE PLANNING ARCHITECTURE

1. Architectural Site Planning & Pre-Construction Essentials Principles, Design, Vetting, Construction, and Materials

2. Importance of Site Selection in Architecture - Sets foundation for all design decisions - Affects structural, legal, environmental viability - Influences aesthetics, access, services, and cost

3. Planning Principles for Architects - Contextual Harmony – Match design with surroundings - Regulatory Adherence – Zoning, codes, height limits - Functionality – Efficient internal layout, zoning - Environmental Responsiveness – Light, wind, vegetation

4. Building Plan Design Essentials - Orientation: Use natural light, cross ventilation - Layout Efficiency: Circulation, spatial hierarchy - Structure: Grid-based design for load balance - Flexibility: Future expansion or change in use

5. Site-Specific Strategies in Architecture - Slope: Terraced, stepped buildings - Dense Urban Sites: Vertical design, daylight access - Remote/Rural: Use local resources, terrain fitting - Flood Areas: Raised foundations, water drainage

6. Vetting Plans for Approval - Architectural Review Board: Design compatibility - Municipal Approval: Fire, safety, code compliance - Environmental Clearance: Water, energy, waste - Community Engagement: Public feedback processes

7. Basic Construction Techniques - Load-bearing Construction: Masonry walls - Framed Structures: RCC or steel frames - Modular Construction: Precast or prefab units - Green Construction: Rammed earth, SIPs, bamboo

8. Common Building Materials Used - Structural: RCC, steel, bricks, stone - Insulation/Finish: Gypsum board, tiles, wool - Sustainable: Fly ash bricks, bamboo, recycled steel - Cladding: ACP panels, terracotta tiles

9. Integration of Technology - BIM Models: Clash detection and coordination - GIS & Drone Mapping: Terrain precision - 3D Rendering & VR: Client and approval aids

10. Case Study: Integrated Site Planning - Project Type: (e.g., Sustainable Residence) - Site: Terrain, climate, access - Design: Orientation, layout - Materials: Eco-friendly, local - Approval Process: Timeline and agencies involved

11. Summary & Key Takeaways - Plan holistically—from site to skyline - Collaborate with engineers and authorities early - Balance aesthetics, function, and regulation - Use modern tools for planning and client engagement
