Hi, I’m Professor Allen
I graduated from the
University of Michigan in 1971 with a
degree in landscape
architecture.

See, I have
a ring
to prove It…
also as a reminder because, it was a long time ago..

Around 1973 I started
teaching at LIT, Lawrence
Institute of Technology.
Now it is known as LTU;
Lawrence Technological
University.

that's me

I became a partner in a landscape architectural firm located in Bloomfield Hills about ’78.

And, I am still
practicing in the
profession…

The world is “shrinking”; Resources are being depleted at an ever increasing ratewhile the population increases placing additional demands on the finite resource base.

“power oriented solutions tend to add even more energy and yet another layer of construction to solve yet another layer of construction to solve each problem that that arises in the context of building design. This approach characterizes building production in the second half of the twentieth century. During this period, buildings became hermetically sealed, relied upon an increasing layered approach to construction, and used increasing amounts of energy to serve their occupants.” pp 7 kiel moe

I will use SITE ANALYSIS as the structure for these lectures…a kind of roadmap;a backbone upon which I will hang topics.
10
Because, it is through an understanding of the site & natural systems, that we will be ableto minimize the impact we make on the environment.
![Page 11: 1. 10 site analysis](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102318/55541be2b4c90572068b4872/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

That is the “Why” of Site Analysis?
All sites are not created equal; or flat….
Nor are all buildings the same. Nor all clients. Nor all communities.
Architecture is not played on a Monopoly board.12

Site Analysis• An inventory
• kind of like dating…• getting to know each
other…. • The implications of
that inventory as it relates to a program…
• Because, as an architect, you are
going to propose a marriage of site and
structure. 14

Orientation andearth shelter insulation
Note the earth
shelter berm on
NORTH elevation
to minimize
heat loss. Note the minimal
use of glass for
the same reason.

In order to practice, not just give lip
service to, sustainability, you
must first understand the
natural systems & their cycles to
maximize their potential.
Note the vestibule entrance to
minimize energy loss. Note use of
dark tile to “store” solar heat gain.

First, define the Land We measure land.
We define it as“FLAT”
on the surface, with lines of
LONGITUDE; pole to pole,
& LATITUDE;
east and west. 30

LATITUDELONGITUDE

If you Google this area, you will find that we are about 42.5 degrees N. latitude.That is important as you need that to derive the altitude of the sun at any given date.

3.Soil
It takes hundreds years to create 1 inch of topsoil.
That is hundreds years to “erode” these rocks into particles small enough to separate and holdorganic materials in place while allowing air andwater to reach the root systems of plants,( which by the way hold this mess we call soil
together) and still allow some to escape to the water table and aquifers so we can drink it. And you thought it was just dirt. 41

5. CLIMATIC FACTORS Climate is determined by your location relative to the sun among other things;
It is kind of an average of the weather
Weather is day to day change

Weather
• All these phenomenon taken together are what makes up our weather.
• When we talk of weather, we are talking about
• Sun (light and temperature)
• Wind• & • Precipitation 68

23.5 degrees; marvelous • The wonderful thing about earth is that it is
tilted 23.5 degrees on its’ axis.
• That is why we have different climates and changing seasons.

• For example it is typical that frost will extend to 42 inches on very rare occasions in this area; therefore it is a good idea to extend your footings to at least that depth.
• I usually analyze the micro climate; the climate or weather that is typical to the area of the site under consideration.

BEN FRANKLIN
Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that the stuff
life is made of.
Employ thy time well, if thou meanest to gain leisure.
Remember that time is money.
Waste neither time nor money, but make the best use of both.
Leisure is the time for doing
something useful.
Take time for all things: great haste makes great waste.

How does nature define regions?
• Nature defines regions by ridges and valleys, oceans and continents
• Today we define regions by the grid… an artificial grid.• Who has it right?

“The major Flooding witnessed
in many English towns & cities in 2000 and 2001
has been attributed, in part, to increased built development
in river catchments and flood plains and the consequent
disruption to natural drainage patterns.”
