Hosted by LearnFormula Webinars
Many projects treat landscape as something to be accommodated once a building has been designed. Yet site topography, hydrology, solar orientation, vegetation, microclimate, views, ecology, and movement patterns often have a greater influence on long-term building performance than decisions made later in the design process. As architects respond to increasingly complex environmental, planning, and user requirements, site-responsive design is becoming a critical tool for improving both project ou
