Project 3 : Residential Landscape Project

 

Introduction

Projects in landscape architecture progress through stages, from the very first contact with the client and awareness of the site, through to the realization, construction and maturation of the finished design. It is important to remember that the design process, unlike a timeline, is often completely non-linear. The phrase “back to the drawing board” refers to the continual process of testing and retesting that is characteristic of the architectures. In the planning of a residence, there are not only the space is matters but also to integrate the natural site component with its landscape environs. Since the area to be developed is small scale, the design will take into account all positive qualities of the site – the ground forms, cover, exposures, views, and all other natural or architectural features – and bring them into harmony.

 

The objectives of this project:

 To acquire knowledge about design process, planning and development of project.

 To proffer exposure of small scale landscape project to the students.

 To familiarize students about the design stages and how to visualize their ideas onto presentation boards.

 

In this Individual  project Ms.Renee is my Tutor.

This project is the continuous of the Project 2A.

In this project we need to improve the exterior of the houses at project 2A.

From the same site that you were doing for previous Project 2, we are required to design the landscape for the house.

We have to imagine that you are going to present the landscape proposal to the client (who is the house owner) by preparing ALL drawings needed for every development stages.

The development stages shall include as following;

 

A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

A short paragraph of your design statement which explaining about the ideas, rationale of the design and the concept of the design. The narration should briefly describe, constructive and informative. *note: It is advisable to complete at the end of the process

 

B. CONCEPTUAL DIAGRAM

From the site synthesis (refer to previous individual component of project 2), develop a bubble diagram. Bubble diagram is used as a means to show what spaces and activities that you want to propose at the site. Subsequently, you need to come out with a conceptual diagram. Conceptual diagram is a breakdown (more detailed) of your synthesis (design solutions) and bubble diagram which related to the site.

 

C. SCHEMATIC PLAN

From the conceptual plan, you need to develop a schematic plan. It is also known as preliminary master plan. In schematic plan, you are to compose all of elements that you intend to put into the design. It should have form composition, shape and pattern of the design elements. You may provide sketches/illustrations (sections/elevations) to better represent your ideas.

 

D. MASTER PLAN

After the schematic plan has been approved by your tutor, you should produce a master plan set of drawings. The set of drawings include; - Master Plan - Elevation & Section - Hardscape Palette - Softscape Palette

 

E. COST ESTIMATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN

A brief cost estimation or budget allocation of the landscape project that you proposed.. The cost estimation is regarded to be as preliminary bill of quantities (BQ). Additionally, you are also to include a brief maintenance plan of the project.

 

While this was the last project I did for CL .However this project also help me a lot & I also had improve a lot of knowledge.
