Site Planning |
Refers to the organizational stage of landscape design process. It involves the organisation of land use zoning, access, circulation and other factors. |
|
|
Site planning done by arranging the compositional elements of___________. |
Landform Planting Water Buildings Paving |
5 words |
|
Site Analysis |
Site planning generally begins by assessing potential site for development. Information about slope, soils, hydrology, vegetation, parcel ownership, orientation, etc are assessed and mapped. |
|
|
Natural Surface Features |
Vegetation : Type of size, location, shade pattern, aesthetics, ecology etc. Slopes : Gradient, Landforms, elevations, drainage patterns. Wild life : ecology, species etc. Climate : precipitation, annual rain/snow, humidity, wind direction, solar intensity, & orientation, average/highest/lowest temperature. |

Harvey M. Rubenstein |
He defines the site planning as "The art and science of arranging the uses of portions of land. These uses are designated in detail by selecting and analysing sites, forming land use plans, organizing vehicular and pedestrian circulation, developing visual form and material concepts, readjusting the existing landfrom by design grading, providing proper drainage, and developing the construction details necessary to carry out the projects ". |

Kevin Lynch |
He defined Site Planning as "The art of arranging structures on the land and shaping the spaces between; an art linked to architecture, engineering, landscape architecture and city planning. |
|
|
Aesthetic Factors |
Perceptual : from an auto, by pedestrian, by bike etc. Spatial Pattern : views of the site, views from the site, space existing, potential for new areas, sequential relationships Natural Features : significant natural features of the site, water elements, rock formations, plan materials. |
|
|
Cultural & Man-made Features |
Utilities : sanitary, water supply, gas, electrical etc. Land use : Usage of site, adjacent use, zoning restrictions, easement etc. Historic notes : archaeological sites, landmarks, building type, size, condition Circulation : linkages an transit roads, auto & pedestrian access, mass transit routes etc. Circulation : linkages an transit roads, auto & pedestrian access, mass transit routes etc. Social Factors : population, intensity, educational level, economic & political factors, ethnicity, cultural typology etc. Social Factors : population, intensity, educational level, economic & political factors, ethnicity, cultural typology etc. |

Building |
Key element of the landscape all elements or directly indirectly connected to the building. Pathways are connect to the building to serve it purpose. |
|
|
Main building |
Key of the whole planning. Its the place that's being landscaping done for. Thus ______ is to be planned at first position in site process of site planning. |
|
|
Roads |
______ connectivity part of the site planning roads connects and Form a grid for movement of people. |
|
|
Private roads |
Main road that connect the building to the outer world these are the entrances of the building. |
|
|
VIPs roads |
Commonly seen in the institutional or public areas where there are heads for security. |
|
|
Service road |
Usually located at the back of the building to be used for services for example in a hotel back service area is used for moving in pantry items. |
|
|
Pedestrian walkways |
The connective grids of the building that allows pedestrian to walk around the building or to the building. Landscaping these______ is very important part of site planning because these are the places of physical movement of the people. |
|
|
Car access |
The access for the cars in the building for allowing cars to enter the premises. |
|
|
Pedestrian Access |
That ways built for the people to enter the premises and to walk in. |
|
|
Service access |
The access given for the services that serves the building services usually at the back of the building. |
|
|
Drop offs |
The dropping point where the people are checked out the premises and thus use as a cya point or exiting area. |
|
|
Emergency access |
The basic recruitment of the building in many case of mishappening these serves as very good access to save people. |
|
|
Landscape architecture |
The design of outdoor public areas, landmarks, and structure to achieve environmental, social behavioral or aesthetics outcomes. It involves systematic investigation of existing social, ecological & geological conditions and processes in the landscape and the design of interventions that produce the desired outcome. |
|
|
Hardscape |
Practice of landscaping, refers to the paved areas like streets & sidewalks large business complexes & housing, and other industrial areas where the upper soil profile is no longer exposed to the actual surface of the Earth.
The term is especially used in heavily urbanised or suburban areas with little bare soil. |
|
|
Softscape |
Refers to the elements of a landscape that comprise live, horticultural elements. Softscaping can include flowers, plants, shrubs, trees, flower beds, etc.
