As an AI language model, I don't have personal preferences or beliefs, but I can provide you an overview of the general considerations that architects usually take into account when selecting appropriate building sites:
1. Location: Architects consider the area where the site is located, including its surroundings for transportation, access to public utilities, neighborhood conditions, and climatic factors.
2. Zoning: Architects have to identify the zoning regulations for that specific site that determines what type of structures are allowed in that area and the size and height of the building.
3. Topography: Architects take into account the topography of the site, including its soil, drainage, and slope. Architects need to determine if the soil is suitable for building on and any additional engineering requirements.
4. Elevation: Architects usually evaluate the height of the site above sea level and the likelihood of the area experiencing natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes and earthquakes.
5. Orientation and views: Architects determine the site’s orientation for perfect placement of the building that can benefit from daylight, views, and the position of the different rooms and spaces.
6. Availability: Finally, Architects take into consideration the availability of the site and can determine how much it will cost to develop the property.
