1. Analyzing the Landscape Site (Analisis Tapak)

3. Site Analysis
The site analysis plan is a piece of paper with an accurate sketch of the house and building and lot on which observations are recorded.
Some of the features to be notes on a site analysis plan follow are:
Orientation of the House
The lay of the land

4. Site Analysis Cont.. Soil Existing Vegetation Natural Features Climate
Views

5. Site Analysis Orientation of the House
Need to know your directions N,S, E, W
Locating the activity areas of the land.
Need to know how much shade an area gets
Need to know how much wind exposure the area gets.

6. Site Analysis The lay of the land:
Need to know about hills, valleys, and flat areas
Need to know the slope or grade of the land
Need to know about the drainage of the land

7. Site Analysis
Soil:
Need to know the soil texture which is the proportion of different sized particles in the soil like sand, silt, and clay.
Need to know the soil structure is the arrangement of the soil aggregates in the soil
Topsoil is the soil found near the surface and is the most valuable for healthy plant growth

8. Site Analysis Soil Cont…
Need to know about the subsoil which is a lighter colored soil below the topsoil
Soil is classified into horizons
A horizon is the topsoil that has humus, roots, organisms in it
B horizon is the subsoil that has fine particles, leached materials , and some roots
C horizon is the Parent Material where there is weathered bedrock and some leached materials
R horizon is the Bedrock underlying solid rock

9. Site Analysis Existing Vegetation:
This include the existing vegetation in the site.
What is a Native plant?
are those naturally and not introduce by people

10. Site Analysis Existing Vegetation: What is ornamental plants?
are those planted by people for the attractive characteristics they possess.

11. Site Analysis Natural Features What are considered natural features
Rocks
Earth
Water
These are all that are found on the site .

12. Site Analysis Climate Climate is broken down into two categories:
Macroclimate
Microclimate

13. Site Analysis Climate Cont..
Macroclimate concerns the temperature , precipitation, humidity and wind over the large areas or region
Microclimate is the temperature, precipitation humidity and wind on the landscape site.

14. Site Analysis
Views
Study and make note on the site analysis plan views to and form the landscape site. Those living in a house will frequently look away from their property to the surrounding areas

15. In Review Design Steps Step 1 Meet the Customer Step 2 Base Plan
Step 3 Family Inventory Survey
Step 4 Site Analysis Plan

16. Preparation for the Design Process
The one key to successful landscaping is to consider the features of the site and the surrounding area. Designers will note site characteristics such as:
drainage of water
Slope of the land
Soil conditions
Existing vegetation
Existing structures
Climate

17. Preparation for the Design Process
What is the base plan?
It is the first drawing in the landscape design process involves a bas plan. It is the drawing of the hour on the lot.

18. Preparation for the Design Process
What is a plan view?
It is a view from above looking down as opposed to a drawing of the front of the house known as a elevation view

19. Preparation for the Design Process
Features included on a base plan are:
driveways
patios
walks
Fences

20. Preparation for the Design Process
What is a plat of survey/
it is a legal document indicating the exact locations of physical structures on a piece of property and the exact dimensions of the property

21. The Design Process
Design may be produce with the simplest equipment or top of the line computer technology.
Computer Technology is the fastest growing segments of the information age

22. The Design Process What does Computer assisted design (CAD) mean?
refers to the use of computer hardware and software to produce drawings

23. The Design Process What is Software?
is the programs which make the equipment function

24. The Design Process What is Hardware?
Describes the computer equipment. This includes input devices which allow the designer to enter information into the computer Example of this device are: keyboard, mouse, pen plotter, and more!!
