Jean Trotier, our Speaker for the class on Nov 6, spoke on site planning. He mentioned the design complex, which I understood as the elements which he felt were necessary to consider when designing. The Design Complex included:
-Needs
-Bio-physical Context
-Technology
-Values
-Behavior
I agree that these factors are indeed relevant in producing an ideal design in our world today. On their own they perhaps would not be so successful but together they would result in, what I feel, could be the 'perfect design'.
Mr. Trotier later lectured on Site Planning, and how slope stability, drainage, frost action and compaction play in this process. He explained how groundwater, suitability for waste disposal and plant growth, and ground shift should also be considered. I understood through this part of the lecture that all these factors contribute to determining the difficulty when actually building.
