- Q&A Session
Before we start the design, we landscape architect have to do
some research first on the design. There is a few guide lines,
restriction like CPTED which Is Crime Prevention through Envi-
ronmental Design. And we also have to fulfil the client and the
Dato Bandar wish lists.
Q: So you guys supposed to think of something like for ex-
ample the lighting in the township?
A: Yes, more lighting is necessary but what about the costing? So we
have to think out of the box to solve this problem. We have to think of
what kind of lighting is suitable for this situation. The distant of the light
and what happen after and before the lighting, where should we put the
fencing, housing area, parks and many more. A lots of research has
been done by the oversea architect especially form Australia. We Ma-
laysian L.A. have
to talk with them
and get some
reference form

3. A: There is one project we are doing now is the Elmina township
in Selangor. Township means the whole new development in a
certain undeveloped area. So we have to start from scratch as
the whole place is a palm tree estate. Then the planner come in
and we discuss with the planner about how the road should go,
where is the location of the parks and the other facilities. After
that we start to design the main road, all the infrastructure, all
the parks
and pocket
parks and
the connec-
tion flow in
the township.
Q: What is your role and responsibility in this project?
A: Our role and responsibility is to make sure that we provide the
right convenient to the user. We don’t simply build something
which is practical. Our strategy is to build something which is
practical, usable and convenient, safety precaution and also easy
to use for the user.

tors for work designed by the consultant, issue Bid documents,
review substitutions and alternatives are requested by the bid-
ders and we LA has to attend meetings with the low bidders on
items designed by consultant to review bids and understanding
of the project scope. After that, we will have to make periodic
visits to the site to become familiar with the progress and quali-
ty of construction and to determine if the construction of the
landscape work is proceeding in accordance with the design in-
tent and contract documents. And our Final task is to provide a
program for professional landscape maintenance.

project which were still working on?

5. Q: So every time after the plans is done you guys have to
meet the client to get his approval?
A: Yes we have to. This is to make sure that we are up to the cli-
ent Requirement as some of them will change their mind and al-
so to fulfil their wish list. The relationship with the client is very
important. And after the client had approved the schematic de-
sign and probable site construction cost, we then proceed the
design development drawings. In the drawing, there will be the
site grading and drainage for all side of the building footprint in-
cluding contouring,
retaining struc-
tures, swales, flow
lines and drainage
devices. Beside we

This conceptual design plan also include illustrative sections
and elevations for presentation purposes. We also have to pre-
pare the image character boards or bound booklets in order to
generate discussion and to convey the landscape design intent.
Soon after everything is done, we have to attend a meeting
with the client and other consultant to review the work.
Q: That sound like a lot of work.
A: Yes, it is. That’s why we have to start as early as possible. After
the client had approve on the site plan based on the footprint provid-
ed by us. We then produce the Schematic Landscape Design plans. In
this plan we have to think of the conceptual site grading and drainage
system in the site, the pedestrian and automobile paved area, the
identification of tree, shrub, groundcover and many more and also
the concept landscape lighting for all major landscape area. Soon af-
ter the plans is done, the project manager and project designer will
