013-1 Design Technology	Lecture: The Survey, mapping the site base-line information and using a scaleHomework: Fill in the missing links from your survey to represent reality!Results: a reliable base sheet
The Discipline of Design: Maps are Tools -1Put a north arrow on the plan correctly.Determine fall of land by using a sight level. If too steep/ or vast number of trees, hire a professionalLabel everything on the drawing Write the scale you are using on the plan.Begin the design process with Site Analysis
The Discipline of Design: Site Analysis -2Before & After PhotosIt is critical that you take “head-on” views of your property as well as panoramic viewsThese early photos provide a platform for sketching new ideas.

013-2 Design Technology	Lecture: Functional Areas, Site Analysis, Homework: Complete the topographic information necessary to accurately represent the site.Do several overlays with site analysis and functional diagrams. Begin to refine your program to fit reality.Results: a complete base sheet with use areas spatially defined by function.
Functional Outdoor Space
NodesNodes occur where functional or perceptual changes in function occur in the landscape.It is a place of transition between one activity and another.Careful examination of nodes will result in solving most of the functional problems on your property.

Topography: changes in elevation
Topographic maps feature contour lines that represent 1,2,5,10 or 100’ change in elevation between the lines.
A swale, creek or river is shown as a dash & dotted line which crosses contour lines as it runs downhill

Refine at least one are of your plan and enlarge it to 1/4” scale. Fill in any missing elements on the base sheet and lay out the concept plan in the field. Revise plan accordingly.Results: See if your ideas fit the envelope of the land..

013-4 Design TechnologyWorkingDrawings &Implementation
Working Drawings are construction documents that enable estimates and implementation to occur according to the design intent
Landscape Architects provide:Schematic Site PlansPreliminary Cost EstimatesPermit drawing setsFull package of working drawings for final estimating and construction purposes
Permit drawing sets typically include a location map and site survey, a demolition plan and haul route, cut & fill calculations and grading plan, sewer location, erosion control details, stamped engineer’s retaining wall drawings, and  tree replacement plan.Landscape Architects stamp plans with state licenses and can be CLARB certified for reciprocity nationwide.
WORKING or CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS are a complex set of plans for bidding & construction implementation and includegrading, staking, materials reference, detailed enlargements, pool specifications, sections, wall details, and many detailed drawings are included for all built features, planting plan, lighting & irrigation.  Packages vary from 6 sheets to 40.

A staking plan provides all dimensions necessary to layout a design on a site
A grading plan provides all elevations necessary to properly drain or fill a site by showing spot elevations and contours.

A planting plan features all locations for plant materials & a schedule of plants to be installed
Tree Protection Plans Feature fencing that extends to the edge of the drip line or at least 20’ from the trunk.
An irrigation plan features all piping & sleeves necessary to provide site coverage with water, plus a schedule of fixtures
A lighting plan provides all details necessary to properly light a garden including a schedule of fixtures.
A furniture plan provides all details necessary to properly furnish & pot a garden including a schedule of fixtures.
