Development should involve compiling environmental information that will affect the design choices for a building and should show the exterior plans around a building, including water lines, electrical lines, solar orientation, and other contour details about the land.
Process/Skill Questions:
- How do engineers contribute to the site analysis?
- How does the site analysis affect the design choices for that site?
- Why is building orientation important to design considerations?
- What design choices can reduce the effects of wind on a building?
- What elements of the structure are typically found on an exterior elevation drawing?
