Designing A Bigger Scale Project

The Ecological Theory is not being probed in this research; it is limited to be an organizing tool. The interview guide that we use tried to include all the systems in the theory (macro, micro, meso, exo, and crhono5), and their probable relations through different issues, which will correspond to one or more systems. However, even the theory would not define the study, it contributes to the design.

A research design can be understood as the planning of any scientific research from the first to the last step. In this sense it is a program to guide the researcher in collecting, analyzing, and interpreting facts (Bless and Higson-Smith, 1995:63).

This declaration focuses on cultural landscapes in terms of the ' interaction of people and nature over time' .3 The majority of World Heritage listed cultural landscapes are ' evolved continuing landscapes, where people and nature dwell together' . Most cultural landscapes fit into this category: they are living landscapes, changing as the culture, climate and natural surroundings change within and around them. The character of the landscape thus reflects the values of the people who have shaped it, and who continue to live in it. The culture itself is the shaping force. Landscape is a cultural expression that does not happen by chance but is created informally or by

Landscape, when applied to an urban context, no longer refers to prospects of a pastoral scene but rather becomes a mean of connecting objects and spaces around it, as well as accommodating the dynamic processes and events that move through it. These urban landscapes are not only defined by their form, but by the program that surrounds it, as well as its ability to connect with the user through its underlying function. The snow dump known as the Bayview yards, is an example of such urban landscape. Bayview Yards is a 16 acre piece of land that is currently home to a derelict city workshop and a massive area designated for a snow dump. Through the site’s history and function a new opportunity comes forward to redefine the landscape, extenuating

Our company Wireless Software Inc. is an innovative Internet-based company with gross revenues of more than $35 million dollars per year. Our company will be merging with a multinational company Skyguard Software Inc. of equal size, as a result of merging it produced Navitech Software Inc and we will be responsible for developing a project plan to strategically integrate all systems, including databases and infrastructure. Navitech Software Inc. global enterprise operations would provide best software products that will benefit to both companies. This report presents recommendations that allow Navitech Software Inc. to remain successful

In 1970, Webb participated in the first ever Earth Day to show solidarity for the environment. Through the lenses of an architect he also gained further respect for the landscape. While studying architecture at UPenn, Webb was introduced to Ian McHarg. McHarg was one of the founders of ecological planning and author of “Design with Nature”. Webb really identified with McHarg’s book and explained how the book opened, “The possibilities to protecting and living within the landscape around us.” Reading “Design with Nature” helped Webb further understand how fragile nature was and how much people that live within nature depended on it. The book put further emphasis on protecting and caring for nature which is something Webb has remembered to this day and continues to act upon through his own projects and

Vegetation is a key factor in determining the structure of an ecosystem. It determines many ecological parameters within a plant community such as microclimate, energy budged, photosynthesis, water regimes, surface runoff and soil temperature (Tappeiner and Cernusca, 1996). Vegetation of an area varies from place to place according to habitat heterogeneity of the area itself. The description and classification of the plant community in an ecosystem is known as Phytosociology (Braun-Blanquet, 1932; Odum, 1971). It’s an important characteristic in describing vegetation that offers a preliminary picture of the ecological character of the vegetation (Kershaw, 1973). Each site of study

When planning your outdoor landscaping design, it's vital that you think about the purpose of the space. Ask yourself questions to define your ideal backyard. Will it be used to entertain family and friends? Do you love to have people visiting, lounging and relaxing in your home? Are you fixing the backyard to up the resale value of your home in the future?

When it comes to creating a wonderful and pleasant landscape design, we make sure about the conditions of a good flora and fauna. We plant the right seeds and create the perfect natural environment

Vegetation plays an important role in the design, it helps to build up the atmosphere of a park, contribute to the feeling of relaxing. Various of vegetation

The United Nations educational, scientific and cultural organization (UNESCO) (2012), define cultural landscape as “cultural properties that represent the combined works of nature and of man.” It is a broad concept that can be referred to as the appearance of the earth’s surface, and its depiction in arts, human cultures and general territories (Steve Hoelscher 2007, p. 76). There exist many cultural landscapes that represent different regions from around the world, and to date there are 88 cultural landscapes and 4 trans-boundary properties on the world heritage list (UNESCO) (n.d.).

In the history of the U.S. Forest Service, landscape architects have shaped conservation policies, but have often been unsung heroes, writers, visionaries and leaders. For instance, Arthur H. Carhart was the first U.S. Forest Service landscape architect and the first to realize the significance of conservation. From 1919 to 1923, Carhart created the recreational facilities of national forests in six states, from Superior Forest on Wisconsin’s Lake Superior to the San Isabel in southern Colorado. Furthermore, Carhart’s writings during his employment with the U.S. Forest Service are the standing pillars for the wilderness and recreation policies that exist today. Looking further back, in 1892 the father of landscape architecture - Frederick Law

Cultural landscapes provide a sense of place and identity. They map our relationship with the land over time. An American geographer by the name Carl Sauer wrote an article which explained how cultural landscapes are made up. Religion can shape cultural landscape in various forms, such as sacred site, burial practices, and architecture.

There’s always a meaning behind why a design looks, function and developed that way. These decisions made should constantly be thoroughly discussed and consider social, economical, sustainable and ecological impacts. Design does not only affect us human. It affects everyone, everything. Humans, animals, ecosystems, and the food we eat, the water we drink the air we breathe and thus; the natural environment. Environmental writer Emma Marris argues that “[i]n different places, in different chunks, we can manage nature for different ends” and that designers can have an important role in communicating diverse ideas about how nature should be managed in their work”. Do they begin with an idealised ‘baseline’ framework or do they take a more pragmatic

Three years ago, if someone asks me if I want to be a Landscape Architect, I would say No, I don’t even know what Landscape Architecture is. If anyone asks me the same question today, my answer is I don’t know what else I can be, other than a Landscape Architect.
