Site Planning*

The first thing you do when  you have a client is you develop a site plan.In order to develop a site plan the first thing you need is a program. The program is basically a list of things the client wants. For example, if a client wanted you to design a home then you would ask : What is the program? And they would answer with a list of things they want like balconies, a hidden library, or a swimming pool. A program is basically a list of  specific aspects the client needs/wants in their building. This stage is also when the architect starts to seek problems with the project. Then, you start designing the building. This is always the hardest part for an architect because the number one thing architects hate is staring at an empty paper. Once you have a quick sketch, you start to develop a concept and then your design is finished. Also, during the designing process  you start to solve problems from the program. Also, keep in mind while developing a site plan is to keep in mind the site environment, the user, and the program. These things will help you to accomplish a site plan for your client or self.
