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 budget

Arrange the landscape scope

Choose and decide what are the plants

that will add into the landscape

WHAT DO THEY DO ?

CONSTRUCTION

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.
