Kevin Lynch Site Analysis

[Madox Valdivia]

Thedocument discusses site planning and analysis of natural factors for site selection. It describes analyzing a site's geology, geomorphology, hydrology, vegetation, wildlife and climate. Key aspects of the natural analysis include examining a site's topography and slopes through tools like contour maps and slope maps. These maps are used to understand drainage, soil composition and erosion potential to determine suitable land uses and site design.Read less

This new edition of Kevin Lynch's widely used introductory textbook has been completely revised; and is also enriched by the experience of Lynch's coauthor, Gary Hack. For over two decades, Site Planning has remained the only comprehensive source of information on all the principal activities and concerns of arranging the outdoor physical environment. Now, new illustrations double the visual material and one hundred pages of new appendixes cover special techniques, provide references to more detailed technical sources, and put numerical standards in a concise form.

An introduction summarizes the site planning process. This is followed by a case study of a typical professional project and ten chapters which provide new materials on user analysis, programming, site planning for built places, housing tenures and their planning implications, cost estimating, mapping, the reading of air photographs, site design for housing in developing countries, design strategies, environmental impact analyses, and many others--all illustrated with in-text photographs and line drawings and with Lynch's characteristic marginal sketches.

DBF offers flexible usage-based pricing, allowing you to pay for our services based on your actual usage. This means you'll be charged according to the specific features, resources, or services you utilize.

Yes, DBF provides custom development services tailored to your unique needs. Whether you require specialized integrations, customized features, or specific solutions, our expert team collaborates closely with you to develop and implement these services effectively.

You can use any reasonable laptop and will be able to create your own design in minutes. Digital Blue Foam is currently optimized for the chrome browser. For large scale urban projects, we recommend using a desktop computer.

Absolutely! We work with several large organizations to make customized versions of our software to optimize customer relations and project deliverables. With our clients we also work on custom data from their past projects or simply on specific typologies and efficiencies.

Yes we do not discriminate or delay other platforms. As long as you use Chrome you can use our online service. We are working to optimize Digital Blue Foam for IPad and other tablet devices to take advantage of the stylus and touch screen.

By designing the best user experience, you can get started with Digital Blue Foam in minutes. To learn about our advanced features, we have created a fully-loaded resource center, and video tutorials.

We typically start with an interview style meeting from where both parties learn to scope out the pilot project and deliverables. During the pilot project there will be weekly meetings on requirements and progress. During the pilot project we will create multiple prototypes. We sometimes do a competition with everyone in the organisation to try the tool and come up with a design. A pilot project typically runs for 2-3 months and during the last phase we make proposals with our customers for the enterprise account.

We have a dedicated team, working on the product and believe in what we do. Sign-up for our early access program to see for yourself. We believe in hiring great talent and a sustainable business. By charging our customers fairly we can create more value and continue our mission to accelerate the world's transition to better cities.

DBF is more than software; we specialize in enterprise software for leading organizations, offering expertise in software planning and strategic consulting. Additionally, our technology focuses on analytics to completement generative design, providing evidence-based recommendations to identify the best options.

Using multi-objective optimization, our tool is designed to meet multiple targets efficiently and effectively. However, there are instances where trade-offs or conflicting objectives arise. For example, you might specify a low maximum height for a building while also requiring an extremely high total floor area.

In such cases, our user interface will gently alert you to the conflict. The system then provides a trade-off solution, balancing the conflicting requirements as best as possible. This ensures you are informed about the trade-offs and can make decisions based on a clear understanding of the design limitations and possibilities.

We provide extensive project contextual data, encompassing maps, satellite imagery, 3D terrain models, building information, road networks, land use, social media data, and local weather station-based wind and solar data. Additionally, we offer flexibility to integrate proprietary data into your solution, either on-premises or via a hybrid configuration, seamlessly integrated with our spatial analytics.

A recent survey of our current customers shows savings of at least 1 week on a 2-3 week project duration. This is a typical feasibility study for the majority of customers, more gains can be made in terms of saving time by creating a range of options. Downloading data such as complete excel sheets and IFC files is assisting our customers further to save time and allow them to focus more on the design to create quality.

The generate button takes in large amounts of data and from there starts to create options on the location you have selected using our tool. We assist you to produce building designs based on your input and create a range of options that you can easily compare using our compare overview page. The generate function takes into account your targets and design guidelines, and generates solutions using our proprietary algorithms.

Solar studies involve shadow and radiation analysis, and dynamic daylight metrics like Daylight Autonomy (DA) and Spatial Daylight Autonomy (sDA). You can focus on comparing sustainability of different design options and creating value for your clients, without worrying about any setup requirements.

We have developed a covid space planner tool and we currently are working with clients on specific projects. If you have any inquiries and like to get in touch to learn more we would be happy to assist you further.

We employ a variety of Machine Learning techniques within our platform. For example, we have trained Machine Learning Models to compute daylight autonomy for a design. To find out more, check out our medium page. Our team frequently, posts and shares about our current research and development.

Digital Blue Foam is developed by architects for architects. We know how much time it can take to create the context and gather all information for a site, let alone draw a few massing studies and create excel sheets for each of them.

Building design has its significance, which can be proved in multiple ways. Building design includes the design of a concept to execution of its manifestation. So, the designs have to be responsible in many aspects. Each stage of design should be appropriate and safe for society and users. The site should be strategically located to favour the occupants, and the purpose should match the context. The concept must be very thoughtful so that it is pleasing to people and gives the building an identity. The design must be sustainable and engaging. The planning must be done considering proper circulation and space making for the users. It should be structurally stable and safe. And lastly, it should be inclusive of people, nature, and ideas. This is why there is a detailed study of many aspects of life before designing.
