- 2. PROJECT TWO: DESIGN PROCESS: RESEARCH & ANALYSIS + GRAPHIC JOURNAL 20% group work + 10% individual Submission Date: Week 9, 13th April 2015 No presentation, it is a submission of work only 5 weeks to completeAn initial stage of small scale landscape project development Inventory, analysis + synthesis Graphic communication skills / sketches exercise Is a “problem-solving process” Landscape elements
- 3. 1. You are required to form a group of 6 to 7 members. Select one leader. 2. You have to choose ONE residence that has LAWN area, and a BASE PLAN (consists of house plan + lawn area). 3. If the base plan is not supplied by the owner, you have to measure everything and produce the base plan in scale. 4. Organize a site visit and do the site survey. 5. There are 2 task; site inventory and analysis, and site synthesis. 6. Produce the site inventory, site analysis & site synthesis diagram/drawing. GROUP TASK

- 5. Example of Base Map
- 6. Site Inventory Site Analysis • Identify and record existing condition. • Named as “data collection”. • Note what it is, where it is. • Analyze the data. • Named as “data evaluation”. • Evaluate or make judgment about worth/importance of the condition. Is it good or bad? Is it functional or not?
- 7. Information needed for SITE INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS: 1. SITE LOCATION AND CONTEXT - Identify location of the house and land uses surrounding it. (e.g; next to main road, at the corner, near to school etc.) - To produce the location plan. 2. TOPOGRAPHY - Identify the existing landform & slope condition. (e.g; is it a flat area or gentle slope etc.) - Identify elevation changes (if any) (e.g; existing step or retaining walls etc.) 3. DRAINAGE - Identify the location of drainage and water spots on land. 4. VEGETATION - Identify existing vegetation (all types of softscape). 5. MICROCLIMATE - Identify direction of sunrise, sunset and wind direction
- 8. 6. EXISTING STRUCTURE - Identify existing structure. (e.g; swimming pool, driveway/porch/garage, steps, fences, pathway, gazebo, fish pond etc.) - Identify location of rubbish bin/dumping spot, cloth line etc. 7. VIEWS - Observe and identify views from inside the house looking out. (e.g; view from hall, or from room etc.) - Observe and identify views from off the site looking on (e.g; views from different sides of the house, views from street, where is the best/ worst views etc.)

- 16. 1. After task 1 are done, you are to do task 2. 2. You need to produce site synthesis diagram. Site synthesis also called as “design solutions”. 3. To scribble/sketch/doodle/draw the design solutions corresponding to the site analysis. 4. This is a group or combination of individual design interpretation ideas and decision making, therefore it should be looking as one work. 5. Solutions can be more than one to one particular condition/problem. TASK 2
- 17. Example of Site Synthesis Diagram
- 18. INDIVIDUAL TASK Graphic Journal 1. You are required produce a graphic journal. 2. It is a sketch journal of landscape elements. 3. You can either trace or sketch/doodle/draw by yourself (all drawings are not to scale). 4. Combine all as a journal. 5. The elements required; a) Vegetation b) Natural Elements c) Hardscape
- 19. A) VEGETATION
- 33. B) HARDSCAPE
