Question
Chapter 13, Problem 13.1Q
To determine
The definition of site orientation.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The placement of a structure on the property by taking physical factors and certain environmental into consideration is called site orientation. The site orientation is one of the preliminary factors that is taken into consideration before the beginning of the design process by an architect or designer. The specific need of the owner is important and need to be considered while doing site orientation by the architect or designer such as perceptions, aesthetic values and individual habits.
