Defining the problem
Programming and the analysis of site and user
Schematic design and the preliminary cost estimate
Developed design and detailed costing
Contract documents
Bidding and contracting
Construction
Occupation and management
Reciting these stages make them sound logical and linear, but the recital is only conventional; the real process is looping and cyclical. Knowledge of a later phase influences conduct of an earlier one, and early decisions are later re-worked. Site design is a process of learning in which a coherent system of form, client, program, and site gradually emerges. Even after decisions are made and building begins- even after the site is occupied-the feedback from experiences continues to modify the plan.
