The purpose of the following analyses is to gain a well-rounded understanding about the natural and man-made systems, and how they may affect the design of the space. Site analysis includes, for example, light studies, in order to understanding where the greatest source of heat gain in the interior may be, as a result of directional position and window placement. Some analyses require more assumptions (e.g. public and private zones), while others are completely objective (e.g. structural system). Each analysis has some relation to another, creating a holistic comprehension during the analysis phase.
