block-and-density

Calculate FAR and site coverage by inputting gross site area and applying block typologies like perimeter, courtyard, or tower-podium to derive gross floor area, net developable area, and population metrics.

Gross site area is the total parcel size, while net developable area excludes non-buildable zones to serve as the denominator for FAR and dwelling unit density calculations in block design.

Yes, you can apply the density calculation methodology to perimeter, courtyard, tower-podium, row/terrace, and campus blocks across varied latitudes and zoning contexts to compare daylight, enclosure, and open space outcomes.

Compute dwelling units per hectare and population capacity by determining gross floor area, deriving net internal area, and distributing floor area across the chosen block typology to output a complete density specification.

Yes, the methodology supports comparative district-scale analysis to optimize daylight, enclosure, and open space by calculating floor area distribution and density metrics across multiple zoning contexts.

Provide gross site area and chosen typology to generate a complete block specification with plan dimensions, floor area distribution, and open space metrics for your urban planning scenario.
