Which step follows the research phase in site plan creation?

The research phase in site plan creation involves gathering information about the site, its context, zoning regulations, environmental constraints, and community needs. Following this phase, the next critical step is the analysis. This step entails interpreting the data collected during research to understand the implications for design.

During the analysis phase, the site’s topography, existing infrastructure, environmental factors, and the needs of the users are examined closely. This analysis helps to identify opportunities and constraints that influence the design decisions. It ensures that the subsequent concept design is grounded in the realities of the site and aligns with project goals and community values.

While conceptual design, detailed design, and review are all important phases in the overall process, they come after the analysis has been conducted. The analysis sets the foundation for a thoughtful, responsive design that can be effectively developed in later stages.
