CHAPTER 1
Questions
1.1
Explore as many of the following types of landscapes as possible, both early in your study of this material and after you have developed a greater understanding of the material. As you experience these places, think about how the use of landform in the design affects your experience. Does it provide a sequence of experience? Does it evoke a certain feeling or emotion? How does the landform interact with plantings and other designed elements to create the overall composition? Are there things about the landform that you would change to improve your experience of the place?
Take photographs of the places you explore and upload the photos to the Site Engineering for Landscape Architects Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/SiteEngineeringForLandscapeArchitects). Please provide geolocation information and a brief description of your observation with any uploaded photos.
Types of places to explore:
- Residences of different types and scales
- State and national parks
- University or college campuses
- Corporate campuses
- Athletic fields
- Civic spaces/placesācity hall, post office, library, courthouse
- Places of worship
1.2
Search your local area and identify roads of the following types that you will revisit throughout your study of site engineering. As you take the time to explore and identify these roads, observe how the road and its adjacent conditions interact. Can you tell whether the road has been fit into the landscape, leaving its surroundings largely intact, or whether the landscape has been altered to accommodate the road and adjacent development?
Take photographs of the streets, roads, and highways and upload the photos to the Site Engineering for Landscape Architects Facebook page.
Road types to assess:
- Residential street in a new development.
- Residential street in an older part of town.
- A stretch of highway with a diversity of different landscapes adjacent to it. This could include urban, suburban, and rural residential development; farmland; and industrial and natural landscapes.
- A winding rural road.
- A road in a local, state, or national park.
1.3
Find a construction site near where you live that will be relatively easy to visit and observe over time. (Obtain official permission as necessary to enter each location for observation.) You will be visiting this site as you learn more about the various topics involved with site engineering. The more complex the construction, the better example it will be to use in this series of observations. To show the progress of the construction, take photographs of the site at least weekly.
