LANDSCAPE LANDSCAPING LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
LANDSCAPE is a section or
expansion of rural scenery, usually
extensive, that can be seen from a
single view point.
LANDSCAPPING is a development of
outdoor space to provide various
amenities, privacy, comfort, beauty and
ease of maintenance.
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE is the design of
outdoor public areas, landmarks, and structures to
achieve environmental, social behavioral, or
aesthetic outcomes.
6. A PRESENTATION BY AR. GEEVA CHANDANA | 6
WHAT IS LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE?
• Landscape architecture is the study and practice of designing
environments (outdoors & indoors) of varying scale that
encompasses elements of art, environment, architecture,
engineering, and sociology.
• Landscape architects are involved in the designing of spaces that
“creates and enables life between the buildings”.
• The involvement of landscape architects can be seen in streets,
roads, shared paths, housing estates, apartment compounds,
shopping malls, squares, plazas, gardens, pocket parks,
playgrounds, cemeteries, memorials, museums, schools, universities,
transport networks, regional parks, national parks, forests,
waterways and across towns, cities and countries.
• Landscape architects often go beyond design creating frameworks
and policies for place and city shaping that enable citizens and
government to create better places for all.
7. A PRESENTATION BY AR. GEEVA CHANDANA | 7
WHAT IS THE ROLE OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT?
• Landscape architects analyze, plan, design, manage,
and nurture the built and natural environments.
• Landscape architects have a significant impact on
communities and quality of life.
• They design parks, campuses, streetscapes, trails,
plazas, and other projects that help define a
community.
8. A PRESENTATION BY AR. GEEVA CHANDANA | 8
WHY DO YOU NEED LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE?
• To make good spaces.
• To achieve environmental, social behavioral, or
aesthetic outcomes.
• to provide various amenities, privacy, comfort, beauty
and ease of maintenance.
• To make one site visually aesthetic.
• To design the site with more natural aspects.
• To make the site more comfortable.
• Restore environmental aspects via designing.
• Maintaining own characteristics of the site.
• To keep natural elements & decorate them.
Quality landscape architectural design and
implementation also improve the quality of life for our
people and visitors.
9. The external environment has a significant effect on the way
people live, which is determined by natural conditions,
anthropogenic factors, the density of urban constructions, and
the size of vegetation areas. The increasing number of
buildings in a city, reduction of vegetation areas and the use
of microclimate warm building and ground surface materials
affect the conditions of in urban spaces, which can influence
the use of outdoor space.
Elements of landscape is one of important indicators that
have direct affections of Pedestrian satisfaction level with the
thermal environment, Landscape design is the holistic
process of shaping the natural and built environment to
create desirable places for people to live, play and work
and conditions for vegetation.

LANDSCAPE CONSERVATION
• Landscape conservation is a rapidly growing practice of
people working together across large geographies,
regardless of political boundaries, to conserve natural and
cultural heritage and ensure a sustainable future for both
people and nature.
• Landscape conservation are long-term efforts
characterized by a focus on:
1. conservation of healthy ecological systems;
2. use of sustainable and culturally sensitive conservation
planning;
3. collaborative network structure; and
4. meaningful multi-sector stakeholder engagement.

LAND RECLAIMATION AND LANDSCAPING OF DERELICT LANDS
• Derelict land is taken as being any land so damaged by
industrial or other development, including the working of
minerals, that it is not capable of further use without
treatment; in other words it is land that has been used, then
left in an unserviceable state.
• The two aspects - reclamation and prevention — require
different approaches.
• Reclamation generally calls for direct action by the public
sector, while the prevention of further dereliction from
mineral and other activities is achieved by conditions
imposed on planning consents given to land owners and
private companies for mineral operations and industrial
development.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT
• EIA can be defined as the study to predict the effect of a
proposed activity/project on the environment.
• EIA compares various alternatives for a project and seeks to
identify the one which represents the best combination of
economic and environmental costs and benefits.
• EIA integrates the environmental concerns in the
developmental activities right at the time of initiating for
preparing the feasibility report. It enables the integration
of environmental concerns and mitigation measures in
project development.
• EIA can often prevent future liabilities or expensive
alterations in project design.
