Site Planning - Design Process Flashcards
He outlined the eight stage site planning cycle
Kevin Lynch
These are the eight stages of the site planning cycle
- Defining the problem
- Programming and the analysis of site and user
- Schematic design and the preliminary cost estimate
- Developed design and detailed costing
- Contract documents
- Bidding and contracting
- Construction
- Occupation and management
The planning - design process of John Simond
- Commision
- Research
- Analysis
- Synthesis
- Construction
- Operation
These are the general activities of the site - planning design process
- Research (pre-project phase)
- Analysis (site assessment)
- Synthesis
Most developable slope
0-2%
Slope that easily accommodates most categories of development
2-8%
Slope that have some development restrictions ; upper limits for roads and walks
8-16%
Slope that has significant restrictions to most development
16-24%
Slope that is generally restricted for development
24%+
These are the existing conditions of a site location
Topography and Slopes
Geology and Soils
Vegetation
Hydrology and Drainage
Microclimate
Views
It is the development of the program that is the bridging step between the analysis and synthesis or design phases
Program Development
It refers to the actual user who may not be the client per se
Population
It involves the type and quantities of elements that will be provided in the design
Packaging
It is the standards that set the quality of elements expected whether in terms of materials of function.
Performance
It refers to general physical relationships that should be achieved
Patterns
These are the stages of the Synthesis (Design Phase)
A. Conceptual Design
B. Preliminary Design
C. Site Plan/Master Plan
D. Design Implementation
It is the organization of the external physical environment to accommodate human behavior
Site Planning
It deals with the qualities and locations of structures, land, activities, and living things.
Site Planning
It creates a pattern of those elements in space and time, which will be subject to continuous future management and change
Site Planning
It refers to the grading plans, utility layouts, survey locations, planning plans, sketches, diagrams and specifications, and simply a conventional way of specifying this complex organization.
Technical Output
These are considered in the site selection checklist
- Site characteristics
- Availability of services
- Availability of community services
- Livability of site
- Maintenance and Operating Costs
- Costs
- Marketability
- Appearance and General Character
It refers to soil conditions, ground water and drainage, slope, elevation
Site characteristics
It refers to the availability of sanitary and protective services, removal of waste, power, fuel and communications
Availability of services
It refers to public transportation facilities, employment, stores, and markets, schools, churches, recreation, facilities, parks, playgrounds, medical facilities, library
Availability of community services
