SITE PLANNING

The page on the NCARB web site, www.ncarb.org/are/exam2_2.html, contains a list of what NCARB feels you need to review for this part of the exam. Site Planning is designed to test your skills with Site Analysis and Site Design and is composed of 6 “vignettes.” The six vignettes are: the Site Design Vignette, the Site Zoning Vignette, the Site Parking Vignette, the Site Analysis Vignette, the Site Section Vignette, and the Site Grading Vignette. Please consult your NCARB A.R.E. Guidelines booklet or the link mentioned above at the NCARB web site for the exact description of each vignette.You can also download the A.R.E. Guidlines from the General Info page at that site.
