2.1.1 Micro Site Analysis
Topography Map
Slope map and slope profile: slope categories and slope characteristics of the site.
The slope profile or section of site influences building patterns and shows areas
which are buildable and not. These data will also determine the type of structural
system for the proposed project.
Surface drainage run-off pattern: roadway pattern and areas not suited for location
of structures.
Vegetation Map: existing vegetations on the site that needs to be preserved
Orientation: reference to the sun. Sun path analysis is critical in the design and
massing of the structure/s.
