Site Assessment
场地评估
In order to appropriately integrate the buildings and grounds into the local ecosystem, the project team must first get to know a site’s features and its challenges. Does the site contain invasive species that need to be remediated? At?risk species that need to be protected? Does stormwater pool in specific areas of the site? Knowing all of this information is essential to good site design.
为使建筑及场地合理融入当地生态系统,项目团队必须首先了解场地特征与潜在问题。场地内是否存在需要治理的入侵物种?是否有需要保护的濒危物种?雨水是否会在场地特定区域汇集?掌握以上全部信息,是开展优质场地设计的基础。
Green Building Strategies
绿色建筑策略
Green buildings have sustainable sites that reduce environmental impacts, minimize site disturbance, and plan to contribute to the restoration and regeneration of the area. Sustainable site design begins with a thorough investigation or survey of the site. During early project planning (discovery), teams conduct a site assessment, which examines environmental characteristics that can influence the design of a sustainable site and building.
绿色建筑采用可持续场地设计,以降低环境影响、最大限度减少场地扰动,并助力区域生态修复与再生。可持续场地设计始于全面的场地勘察调研。在项目前期规划(勘察阶段),项目团队开展场地评估,分析可影响可持续场地与建筑设计的各项环境特征。
The site assessment answers questions about the site, including:
场地评估需解答以下场地相关问题:
? How does water flow on the site (both above and below the ground)?
- 场地地表水与地下水的径流方式如何?
? Has the site been developed in the past? If so, did that lead to any contamination?
- 该场地是否曾被开发利用?若有,是否造成污染?
? Which plant species are present on the site?
- 场地现有植物物种有哪些?
? What are the characteristics and condition of the soil on the site?
- 场地土壤的特性与现状如何?
? Does the site support native habitat?
- 场地是否具备原生栖息地条件?
? What are local planning and zoning codes and permitted uses?
- 当地规划与分区法规、允许的用地性质是什么?
? What is the ecological history of the area, including previous environmental conditions and human impacts?
- 该区域的生态历史,包括过往环境状况与人类活动影响如何?
? Is the site under threat by any invasive species?
- 场地是否受到入侵物种威胁?
? Does the outdoor space have enough capacity for human visitors?
- 户外空间是否具备足够的人流承载能力?
? How might climate change affect the long?term safety and sustainability of the site?
- 气候变化将如何影响场地长期安全性与可持续性?
