Preamble:

A site visit is the first step in any design process. Often, the importance of this step is overlooked and architects are expected to start working on a building design by just looking at site survey plans and site pictures or videos. A site visit can offer several inputs that one cannot see, experience, or understand from photographs. It deals with climate, topography, geology, hydrology, vegetation as well as social, cultural, ecological, and environmental aspects. 

As a renowned architect, Tadao Ando says, “You cannot simply put something new into a place. You have to absorb what you see around you, what exists on the land, and then use that knowledge along with contemporary thinking to interpret what you see”. 

The site plays an important role in influencing building orientation, massing, and the materials chosen for construction. For a design to be holistic, it needs to be responsive to its surroundings. This could also be the reason why principles of vernacular architecture and critical regionalism are valid and relevant even today as they underline the idea of creating harmonious design with the geographical context of the building

Objectives of the program: 

• To understand the process of design with relevance to the site.
