4. Landscape Planning/ Design
Land becomes landscape when it is described or seen in terms of its
physiographic and environmental characteristics.
• A reflection of dynamic, natural and social systems.
• Planning _ futuristic approach
• Design _ qualitative and functional arrangement
• Conscious planning and arrangement of land for Agriculture or Social
purpose.

5. ENVIRONMENTAL FRAME WORK
• E.A.Gutkind defines relationship between man and nature
I-THOU mutual adaptation
I-IT enstragement
-Reflects mans attitude towards environment
Fear-fear __ growing self confidence __ weakened the awareness
age of responsibility and unification
Ex. Conservation and development commission , village homes of
California, conservation groups like friends of earth all in different ways
espousing conservation.

transition
he speaks of avoiding the Entropy trap:
wasteful consumption and war trap
The new age of enlightenment in which reshaping of the environment
is seen in terms of land and landscape as a resource to be planned and
designed
1.as per the principles of natural sciences and ecology
2.to meet People’s basic needs for physical and mental health.
Planning techniques _ political and economic procedures
Design _ construction, planting and Management

7. Landscape Architecture as a Profession
• Landscape and Architecture
one dynamic and ever changing and another static and finite
Fredrick Law olmstead coined the term Landscape Architect 1858
First program of landscape Architecture was established at Harvard
University in 1901
The Landscape architect often operating as a team _ in the restoration
of derelict land, Regional Landscape analysis and planning, Urban
design and site planning for various projects, large industrial plants
both in Public Agency and Private Practice.
Time the fourth dimension is an important aspect of Landscape Architecture

8. Conceptual Definition
• H.V.Hubbard and Theodora Kimball refers to LA as primarily a fine art
whose most important function to create and preserve beauty in the surroundings of human habitations
and in the broader natural sceery of the country; but it is also concerned with promoting the comfort
convience and human health of Urbam population, which have scanty access to the rural scenery, and
urgently need to have their hurrying workday lives refreshed and calmed by the beautiful and reposeful
sights and sounds with nature, aided by the landscape art, can abundantly provide.
• Garett Eckbo defines LA as that portion of the landscape which is developed or shaped by man,
beyond buildings, roads or utilities and up to wild nature, designed primarily as space for human living (not
including Agriculture ,forestery). It is the establishment of relations between building, surfacing, and other
outdoor construction, earth, rock forms, bodies of water, Plants and open space, and the general form and
character of the landscape, but with primary emphasis on the human content, the relationship between
people and landscape, between human beings and three dimensional outdoor space quantitatively and
qualitatively.
• Lancelot brown, William kent, joseph panxton…diff. between architecture and landscape occur in means
techniques and materials not basic objectives

9. • Brian Hackett speaks of Landscape as a medium subject to change and growth, All that we can
and should do is to modify or adapt the landscape to fit the new program.
• Elizebeth Kassler LA is better to draw its determinants of form from scientific knowledge and
research in ecology and behavioural studiesas well as from painting, sculpture and Architecture. She speaks
of looking beyond the boundaries of the project.
• American Society of Landscape Architects Landscape architects analyze, plan,
design, manage, and nurture the built and natural environments. Landscape architects have a significant
impact on communities and quality of life. They design parks, campuses, streetscapes, trails, plazas, and
other projects that help define a community.

10. The Practice
• LA has diversified and classified its activities in response to the needs
of the changing world.
• 1. Landscape evaluation and planning
• 2. Site planning
• 3. detailed landscape design
• 4. LA in urban Design

11. This is Landscape Architecture:
• Parks
• Campuses
• Memorials
• Reuse
• Residential Design
• Urban Revitalization
• Rain Gardens
• Ecological Restoration
• Green Roofs
• Transportation…….

• Landscape architects typically
hold a bachelor's or master's
degree in landscape architecture,
covering a broad spectrum of
design, science, and technical
know-how. Topics include site
design, historic preservation,
planning, grading and drainage,
horticulture, and even subjects like
psychology.

2.human factors _ social values and human needs
3.methodology _ systems wherby landscape problems are defined, stake holder
participation
4.technology _ new materials, Machinery and techniques
