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.

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

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 world suffers with many issues such as racism, sexism, hate and prejudice, and society needs people that are strong enough to take a stand. In Harper Lee’s novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, courage is displayed in several different forms, especially through three courageous characters. Lee introduces the concept of honorable courage through Mrs. Dubose, a woman who demonstrates that real courage comes from within. Another brave character in the novel is Tom Robinson. He shows everyone how difficult it is for a black man to be both honest and kind no matter the situation. The most courageous person would be Atticus Finch. Atticus is an important character that fits into his own definition of what "real courage" is and demonstrates it in numerous ways throughout the novel, as he goes against most people’s beliefs in order to do what he believes is morally right. Through these three brave characters, Lee tries to reshape people's stereotypical view of courage.

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

First of all, I honestly did not know anything about the landscape architect. Since 6 years ago, a lot of knowledge that I have learned to become a landscape architect. Honestly, I do not interested with my school study as a civil engineering student so I decided to take this opportunity to try something new. I really do not know anything or even heard about landscape architecture.

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

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 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

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

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).

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.

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

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.

Research is a very important aspect of design and understanding how people interact with the landscape. Different areas of landscape architecture that benefit from multiple research methods. Human and environmental behavior is an area that studies how landscapes influence people (Powers 2009).Visual mapping and engaged action are some of the research methods that help with gathering data to find out about human behavior in the landscapes. This paper discusses the strengths and limitations of both methods as well as shows five examples of the methods used in research and projects.
