 SITE PLANNING AND DESIGN
A. SITE INVESTIGATION
1.Site Selection
2.Identification of Site Location:
Geographical,
Regional/Municipal and Vicinity.
3.Urban Scale: Land Use , Soil
types, Flood, etc. Aerial shots
showing accessibility, existing
landmarks and utilities.
4.Environmental Site
characteristics showing ground
photos of natural and built forms
5.SWOT analysis and Strategies
B. SITE PLANNING & ANALYSIS
1.EXISTING
a)Overlay of all elements, greeneries, built
forms, climate and utilities.
2.ZONING AND CIRCULATION
a)Site programming and landscape form
with predetermined locations of space.
b)Road network with emphasis to public
accessibility and safety.
3.ZONING AND ENVIRONMENTAL
a)Overlay of Existing Elements for
mitigation
b)Site Programming of predetermined
buildable space and landscape elements.

 PRESENTATION OF DESIGN ANALYSIS
BUILDING FORM
Example: MODERNISM
2. THEORY Modernist architecture emphasizes function.
It attempts to provide for specific needs
PRESENTATION rather than imitate nature. The roots of
Modernism may be found in the work of
Berthold Luberkin (1901-1990), a Russian
DESIGN APPROACH architect who settled in London and
1. Idea reference that represents a founded a group called Tecton. The Tecton
concept (from existing architects believed in applying scientific,
architectural styles or by Pioneer analytical methods to design. Their stark
thinkers) buildings ran counter to expectations and
2. Environmental Analysis often seemed to defy gravity.

Elements of MODERNISM
2. THEORY
Modernist architecture has these features:
PRESENTATION Little or no ornamentation
Factory-made parts
Man-made materials such as metal and
concrete
Emphasis on function
Rebellion against traditional styles
THEORY AS DESIGN

That Pioneer Thinker!
2. THEORY
I.M. Pei is known for using large, abstract
PRESENTATION forms and sharp, geometric designs. His
glass-clad structures seem to spring from
the high tech modernist movement.
However, Pei is more concerned with
function than theory. His works often
incorporate traditional Chinese symbols and
PIONEER THINKERS building traditions.
