What is a master planning in architecture design process?

A master plan in architecture design process is a strategic and comprehensive document that outlines the development of a particular area or property. It typically includes analysis of the site, surroundings and contextual considerations, the identification of opportunities and constraints, and a proposed strategy for development.

The master planning process involves a multidisciplinary approach with input from architects, urban designers, landscape architects, engineers, and social and economic analysts. The key components of a master plan may include land use patterns, transportation, open space and parks, utilities, and infrastructure.

The purpose of a master plan is to provide a framework for the development of a site over time, ensuring that it meets the needs of the community and stakeholders while maintaining a cohesive and coherent vision. It is often used as a tool for decision-making, communication, and coordination between different parties involved in the development process.
