    Before starting a design process, students must understand their site — its location, surroundings, rules, and natural features. This activity helps you explore your chosen site step by step and turn your findings into useful design ideas.You’ll look at key factors like where the site is, how big it is, what the land is used for, how people and vehicles move around, and what environmental features affect the site.By the end of this task, you should be able to collect and organize information, understand how different site factors affect design, and propose design ideas that respond to the site’s context.
