کتابی که نحوه کاربرد نمودارها و اشکال در طراحی معماری را مرحله به مرحله توضیح می دهد.
پیشنهاد کتاب برای طراحی خوب معماری، مطالعه زمین، ارایه اطلاعات به زبان نمودار، دسته بندی و نمایش آن است.
کتاب می گوید پس از نمایش اطلاعات با دسته بندی و ترتیب مناسب، فهمی بیشتر از پیش از موقعیت به دست می آید که بدون ارائه تصویری ممکن نیست. این درک عمیق‌تر برای یافتن پاسخ بهینه ضروری است.
کتاب سرشار شکلهای مختلف برای مواردی از جمله وضعیت رفت و آمد محله، پوشش گیاهی، سازه های همسایه، آلودگی صوتی، شیب زمین و... است که می تواند برای بینندگان الهام بخش باشد.
کتاب هم چنین اطلاعاتی در زمینه نحوه دسته بندی نمودارها دارد که برگی از کتاب علوم دانش و کتابداری است که به زیبایی در بستر طراحی معماری جای گرفته است.

Site Analysis is an essential book in architecture to emphasize the importance of analysis before designing, guiding on how we can assign these two components a balanced amount of time, resources, and energy during the overall design process.
"Too often we mistakenly believe that if only
we analyze long enough, we will be led
to the solution. This will never happen." p.24

Very informative handbook, with high-quality nice diagrams that I admire, and I think I'll come back to it every now and then throughout my career. It's the best site analysis guide I've come across in the past five years of architecture program.
Highly recommended for architecture students or recent grads.

Somewhat dated in it's technology references but a very solid explanation on site analysis and diagramming principles.

My instructor recommended this book for me. After reading few chapters from it and seeing some site analytical techniques from this book by my instructor, I think this book is very important for architecture students.
