LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

WHAT IS LANDSCAPE

ARCHITECTURE ?

DEFINITION

Landscape architecture is the art of designing, planning, or

management of the land.

Plan, design and manage open spaces, which are natural and manmade.

Works closely with landscape contractors, planners, environmentalists

and land surveyors.

Design areas that are not only functional, but also beautiful, and compatible with the natural environment.

They plan the location of buildings, roads, and walkways, and the arrangement of flowers, shrubs, and trees.

WHO IS A LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT?

Analysis and survey the site.Focus on the client’s needs and wants

Decide a project budgetArrange the landscape scope

Choose and decide what are the plants that will add into the landscape

PHASES IN LANDSCAPE

ARCHITECTURE

SCHEMATIC DESIGN

Start up with a design consultation.

Plan an initial meeting with the client.

Understand and formulate a concept that meets the client’s needs.

Obtain site plans and survey plans from architects and land surveyors.

Landscape architects start to prepare conceptual design for the clients after consulting them.

Sometimes, a Master plan may be created and needed if the site is too large.

1. Site Analysis

2. Conceptual Plan

3. Section and Elevation Drawing

4. Rendering/ Perspective

A Landscape architect needs to prepare:

1. SITE ANALYSIS

To prepare Site Analysis, a Landscape Architect needs to complete:

Site survey

Vegetation survey

Soil survey

Environmental studies and reports

This stage involves:

Research

Analysis

Synthesis

2. CONCEPTUAL PLAN

A plan to show the design that suites the site conditions and meet the client’s requirements.

May consist of Softscape and Hardscape elements.

Includes structures, pavements, planting and other features as needed.

Provides a plan, 3-D illustrations and graphics to illustrate all the elements proposed for the projects.

3. SECTIONS AND ELEVATION DRAWINGS

To provide sections and elevation to show the height, depth and elevations of the design.

4. RENDERINGS OR

PERSPECTIVES Either in Sketch or

in a 3-D Rendering such as Sketchup and 3-D studio max or manual sketches.

Client gets to visualized the realistic look in the final product.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

After client’s approval on schematic design, develop further on design.

Focus and pay more attention into the construction details like Measurements and materials.

Coordinate with the architects, Civil and Structure, Mechanical and Electrical Engineers and the QS on the designs.

Landscape Architect needs

to prepare:

1. Hardscape2. Softscape/ Planting Plan

1. HARDSCAPE

They are consisted of scaled plans such as:

• Grading and drainage

• Irrigation

• Material & setting out plans

• Lightning (Lightning fixtures and locations of them)

• Signage & street furniture

• Shows dimensions and materials of the design.

• Describe the materials used in this design.

2. SOFTSCAPE/ PLANTING PLAN

Consist of scaled plans of trees and shrubs.

Select and rearrange the plants in the landscape.

Quantities of plant, type of plants, specifications of materials and soil conditioning of the site.

CONSTRUCTION

To issue construction drawings to contractors to construct on site.

To visit and inspect to ensure that contractor construct according to the drawings.

CONSTRUCTION DRAWING

Consist of scaled plans showing the materials and specifications for both hardscapes and softscapes.

POST-CONSTRUCTION

Contractor needs provide As-Built plans.

To ensure the plants survive by having a regular scheduled maintenance program.

Program consist of watering, fertilising, pruning frequencies and to replace dead plants as and when it occurred.

As Built Plans

Record of all changes made during construction.
