Design Phase
Every component in the plan is designed to meetthe requirements
for optimum crop production atthe same time governed by the
elements ofdesign such as line, texture, form and color and
principles of design such as balance, contrast,emphasis,
harmony, unity, transition andproportion to meet aesthetic.

Design Phase
The detailed steps in the design phase are as follows:
Site analysis evaluation of the particular space for
EL based on the problem areas, views, access, assetsand
suitability for crop production.
Design conceptualization creation of EL design
based on the site analysis and following theprinciples of
landscape design and crop production.
