Site Analysis is a preliminary phase of architectural and urban design processes dedicated to the study of the climatic, geographical, historical, legal, and infrastructural context of a specific site.〔Victor Olgyay, Design with Climate, bioclimatic approach to architectural regionalism, ''Princeton University Press'', 1963〕〔Edward T. White, Site Analysis: Diagramming Information for Architectural Design, ''Architectural Media Ltd'', 1983〕〔(G.Z. Brown ), Sun, Wind, and Light, architectural design strategies, ''John Wiley & Sons'', 1985〕 The result of this analytic process is a summary, usually a graphical sketch, which sets in relation the relevant environmental information with the morphology of the site in terms of parcel, topography, and built environment. This result is then used as a starting point for the development of environment-related strategies during the design process. A number of graphical tools for site analysis have been developed to assist designers in this task. Examples of traditional climate-related site analysis tools are the Sundial,〔 the Sun Path Diagram,〔http://wiki.naturalfrequency.com/wiki/Sun-Path_Diagram〕 the Radiation Square,〔M. DeKay & G.Z. Brown, Sun Wind & Light, architectural design strategies, 3rd ed. ''Wiley'', 2014〕 the Wind Rose, and the Wind Square.〔 These conventional methods of site analysis are efficient in simple sites with irrelevant close obstructions, where the analysis can be reduced to the parcel at the ground level or even exclusively to its center point. More elaborated techniques, like Volumetric Site Analysis,〔Michele Leidi, (Volumetric site analysis for the conceptualization of architecture in the urban context ), ''ETH-Zürich'', 2014〕〔J. Teller & S. Azar, (Townscope II ‐ A computer system to support solar access decision making ), ''Solar Energy'', p. 187–200, 2001〕〔Andrew Marsh, (The Interaction of Radiance and Ecotect ), 2006〕 can instead be used to study more intricate and obstructed sites, like those of high and dense urban settings. ==Process == As described by Edward T. White 〔 the site design process is divided up into three sections; research phase, analysis phase, and synthesis phase. These three phases are divided into the eight chronological steps in the design process. * Research phase: The first step is defining the problem and its definition. This is part of the research phase. The site design and site planning process begins with the initial problem to be solved. This is started by a client contracting a planner to work with a particular site. * Analysis phase : The next step involves programming the site as well as site and user analysis, which is focused on in-depth below. There are numerous site elements related to the analysis during this phase. This is part of the analysis phase in site planning. * Synthesis phase : From the analysis, a program is developed, which is part of the synthesis phase. The third step deals with schematic design of a site plan as well as a preliminary cost estimate for the site. Step four involves more developed designs and a detailed cost estimate. Step five is the construction documents for the plan. Bidding and contracting for the project follows as step six. Construction then will take place as step seven. The final step, step eight, in the site design process is occupation and management of the site. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Site analysis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
