Thus, the buildings in Figs. 3.3 and 3.4 have the same footprint as in Fig. 3.2, but
because the total floor areas are respectively 3 and 10 times more than in Fig. 3.2, the
plot ratios are given as 0.75 and 2.5.
The plot ratio can thus be defined as Plot ratio ¼
Total Floor area of building
Land area:
In contrast, the site coverage compares the building footprint area to the land area,
with the definition being
Fig. 3.2 Plot ratio ¼ 0.25
Fig. 3.3 Plot ratio ¼ 0.75
