‘‘What building forms make the best
use of land?’’
• Built potential (ratio of the floor area of the
built form to the site area)
• Built Volume
• Availability of daylight
Resource conscious design
Much more open space in courtyard option because open areas clot together
Courts are an archetypal urban form prevalent not only in hot-arid climates
but also in cooler climates in cities, such as Cambridge, UK
Court form is seen to place the same amount of floor space on the
same site area with the same building depth but in 1/3 height
