AN APPROACH TO DESIGN DECISIONS THROUGH SITE ANALYSIS PROCESS

The process of "Site Analysis" in the "architectural design process" methodology is considered as a categorical and critical process in many design decisions that affect the final product. This product will be completely adequate with the qualitative and quantitative surrounding, both environmental and man-made ones. The problem is the possibility of design completion and prepare a project that will look presentable in appearance, without the evaluation of the objective criteria that related to site elements, which eventually lead to operation and interaction problems. Therefore, it is essential to highlight on the site analysis process goals in an integrated and comprehensive method. In order to achieve the goals that reflect the architectural design decisions, the site analysis method process should be done on three stages: The first stage: Site Data Monitoring, The Second stage: Explanation Site Phenomena and The third stage: Deduction of Design Decision Directives. This paper has provided the chance for deep understanding for the importance of site analysis in its positive, negative and neutral phenomena to make design decision. In conclusion, the paper presents design decisions directives which coming throw site analysis and guideline that allows to more design decisions that affect the design project.
