ARCHITECTURE
DEFINITION
Landscape architecture is the art
of designing, planning, or
management of the land.
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.
WHO IS A LANDSCAPE
ARCHITECT?
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
WHAT DO THEY DO ?

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.
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.
1. Site Analysis
2. Conceptual Plan
3. Section and Elevation Drawing
4. Rendering/ Perspective
A Landscape
architect needs
to prepare:
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
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.
3. SECTIONS AND
ELEVATION DRAWINGS
To provide sections and
elevation to show the
height, depth and
elevations of the design.
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.
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. Hardscape2. Softscape/
Planting Plan
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.
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.
CONSTRUCTION
To issue construction drawings to contractors to
construct on site.
To visit and inspect to ensure that contractor construct
according to the drawings.
CONSTRUCTION DRAWING
Consist of scaled plans
showing the materials and
specifications for both
hardscapes and softscapes.
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.
As Built Plans
Record of all
changes made
during
construction.
