Landscape design is the coordinated and integrated design of multiple projects. In terms of its complexity, it is necessary to consider technical areas such as transportation, hydropower, gardening, municipal, construction, etc. Landscape design is a scientific art that integrates landscape analysis, planning, design, management and protection. Having a comprehensive understanding of landscape design and being able to carry out simple conceptual design is conducive to better choosing the entry point suitable for one's own development in the future, and then further improving. The following is a brief summary of the whole process of landscape design!
1. Demand analysis.
Landscape design begins with an understanding and analysis of the site's needs. This phase mainly includes the clarification of the design objectives, the site visit to the site, the collection of user needs and expectations, and the understanding of the surrounding environment and area planning. The goal of this phase is to identify design constraints and challenges to guide subsequent design work.
2. Conceptual design.
On the basis of the needs analysis, the designer will propose a variety of conceptual design solutions. These solutions take into account functional needs, aesthetic needs, ecological needs, and technical feasibility. The conceptual design phase is the most innovative stage of the entire design process, with the main goal of coming up with a unique, new, and feasible design concept.
3. Case design.
After the conceptual scheme is determined, the schematic design phase will begin. In this phase, the layout of the landscape, the division of each functional area, the configuration of plants, the planning of the road system, and the layout of landscape elements will be planned in detail. At the same time, the preliminary budget is estimated to provide a basis for subsequent construction and project management.
Fourth, the initial design.
The design development is to deepen and improve the design of each sub-item on the basis of the schematic design. This includes the type and quantity of plants, the choice of materials, the type and size of landscape facilities, etc. The initial design is a bridge connecting the schematic design and the construction drawing design, which has the role of connecting the previous and the next.
5. Construction drawing design.
In the construction drawing design stage, the designer will draw detailed construction drawings, including floor plans, elevations, sections, etc., indicating every detail. These drawings will be used to guide the construction and ensure the accurate implementation of the project.
Sixth, construction cooperation.
During the construction phase, the designer needs to work closely with the construction party to ensure that the construction process is consistent with the design intent. At the same time, solve the design problems encountered in the construction process, and provide timely feedback and adjustment to the necessary modifications.
7. Completion acceptance.
After the completion of the project, the designer is involved in the acceptance of the project and evaluates the completed project to ensure that it meets the design requirements and expectations. In this stage, the overall effect of the project will be evaluated, and the problems in the construction process will be summarized and feedback.
8. Post-maintenance.
After the landscape design project is completed and put into use, it enters the maintenance stage. The designer should provide the necessary technical support and review the project regularly to ensure that it remains in good condition in the long term. In addition, there is a need to provide the necessary training and education to users to raise their awareness of the maintenance of the landscape.
