    The document provides a checklist for case studies and site analysis for architectural projects and urban design projects. It lists various essential information that should be included in case studies, such as basic project details, climatic conditions, the architect's concept and how site analysis was considered in the design. It also provides guidance on what should be analyzed for urban design case studies, including the project introduction, ecology/landscape, morphology, transportation/infrastructure, understanding the design, and conducting a user study. Finally, it outlines the key factors that should be examined as part of a site analysis, such as location, climate, existing site features, and local bylaws.

    Research/Thesis

    Check list for case studies (Check List is not limited to the points mentioned
    below)
    List is prepared keeping in mind architectural projects for urban design projects students need to refer
    wherever applicable.

    1. Basic Information

    Project Name

    Architectural

    consultant

    Site area

    B/U area

    Date of completion

    Project location with maps

    Geographic location
    With Maps

    Co-ordinates

    2. Climatic Conditions

    Summer- Max-Min Temp


    Rainfall- max in mm (average
    annual) Winter – max – min
    Relative
    Humidity
    Wind
    speed
    Earthquake zone
    Wind direction & Sun path analysis (Presentation form)

    Topography

    3. Architect’s concept & implication of site analysis in his/her design (Refer site analysis check
    list)

     Write about concept by Architect.


     Study Architectural plans li st of functions/Activities
     Study & present it graphic ally inter –relation of activities
     Circulation within the building/campus & site.
     Mark different zones within building & on site as well.
     Mark entry exit points with respect to roads
     Parking, toilets n(numbers & sizes) as/ NBC
     Provision for handicapped, disables etc.(As/ NBC)
     Mark vertical zoning/ circulation in sections.
     Elevations - mark & write about special features,
     Study & mention implications of byelaws, NBC, fire norms, environmental & air
    authority norms applicable to that area
     Your analytical comments / (+Ve & -Ve points) with your analytic al observation (it should
    come with plans, sections. Elevations, blow ups etc. Do not mention like summery)
     Special materials used, find out any local materials, any special construction techniques
    used, green features etc.
     Typology of the building with respect to surrounding settlement Architecture style or any
    historic al significance of using elements.
     Interior – lighting, materials, opening sizes, room sizes, as per standards, any green
    features etc.
     Lands ape – type of trees indigenous plants, green features used for landscaping etc.
     Behavior of the building in different times/Changing dynamics of the building / place at
    different interval of timings i.e. early morning / morning, afternoon, evening, night etc.
     Different Users & opinions about building’s user friendliness.
     Try to trace Impact of building in surrounding morphology over the years
    (transformation in surrounding morphology due to building)
     Try to find out any social, cultural, economic or any other changes have come due to
    project.

    Note: After finishing both the case studies students are expected to prepare area inferences chart &
    Present Area program of your project.
