2. LANDSCAPE
ARCHITECTURE

4. DEFINITION
Landscape architecture is
the art of designing,
planning, or management
of the land.

5. WHO IS A LANDSCAPE
ARCHITECT?
 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.

6. WHAT DO THEY DO ?
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

8. 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.
1. Site Analysis
2. Conceptual Plan
 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.

4. Rendering/
Perspective
A Landscape
architect needs
to prepare:

9. 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

11. 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.

13. 3. SECTIONS AND
ELEVATION DRAWINGS
 To provide sections and
elevation to show the
height, depth and
elevations of the design.

15. 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.

17. 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. Hardscape
2. Softscape/
Planting Plan

18. 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.

20. 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.

22. CONSTRUCTION
 To issue construction drawings to contractors to
construct on site.
 To visit and inspect to ensure that contractor construct
according to the drawings.

23. CONSTRUCTION DRAWING
 Consist of scaled plans
showing the materials and
specifications for both
hardscapes and softscapes.

24. 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.

25. As Built Plans
 Record of all
changes made
during
construction.
