Comprehensive Site Analysis Elements

This document discusses elements to consider when analyzing a site, including both hard data like location, dimensions, zoning, and climate, as well as soft data like views, human activity, and type of neighborhood. It emphasizes the importance of understanding location, contours, utilities, drainage, and other physical attributes of the site. The document also introduces the concept of a "consequence triangle" to analyze how the site impacts owners, workers, customers, and other stakeholders. Finally, it suggests using 3D modeling to aid in visualizing the results of a site analysis.
