ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
GUIDE
Evaluation of each character area or landscape zone
The aim in design and management is to:
a. Build on the strength
b. Minimize the weaknesses
c. Take up as many of the opportunities as possible
d. Avoid threats
Strength and Weakness

OPPORTUNITIES
Sample Opportunities :
1. To develop a range of recreational activities in
keeping with the landscape
2. To protect vulnerable habitats from development
3. To develop integral plan for management to ensure
minimal site degradation
4. To supply the demand for high quality facilities and
landscape settings

0-5% excellent
(flat to moderately flat)- color white
1. Easy to drain, resist erosion, most economical
condition for development
2. Requires minimal grading for the building
3. Ideal for recreation
4. All types of roads are feasible
13. ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

SLOPE CLASSIFICATION
5-10% good / fair
(sloping) – color yellow
1. Drains easily with some minimal erosion although
some grading is required when siting building.

GUIDE
10-25% poor
(hilly) – color yellow orange
1. Creates erosion problems due to rapid run-off
2. Stabilization may be necessary on undeveloped
slopes.
3. Extensive cut and fill of soil would be required for

SLOPE CLASSIFICATION
GUIDE
25% unsuitable
(severe) – color yellow green
1. Creates serious erosion problems due to rapid runoff.
2. The siting of structures in these areas would be
extremely expensive and costly to the environment.
3. Procedure for building roads would be the same as
the 10-25% slope.
4. These slopes are excellent for hiking and exploration
