    AGRICULTURE, FOOD AND NATURAL RESOURCES SULIS: Sustainable Urban Landscape Information Series — Design PARTS IN THIS SERIES SUSTAINABILITY AND LANDSCAPE DESIGN Discusses the major considerations that need to be incorporated into a landscape design if a sustainable landscape is to be the outcome. Landscape functionality, cost effectiveness, and environmental impacts are a few of the items discussed. THE BASE PLAN Describes how information is gathered, compiled and used in the development of a landscape design. How to conduct an interview, carry out a site survey and site analysis, and how to use information collected from counties, municipalities and developers are some of the topics discussed. THE LANDSCAPE DESIGN SEQUENCE Explains the essential steps to create a sustainable landscape design. The design sequence includes the creation of bubble diagrams, concept plans, and draft designs THE COMPLETED LANDSCAPE DESIGN Describes the transition from a draft to the completed landscape design. Important principles and elements of design are defined. Examples of how each is used in the development of a sustainable design are included. © 2018, Regents of the University of Minnesota.

SUSTAINABILITY AND LANDSCAPE DESIGN There are five considerations in designing a sustainable landscape. The landscape should be: Visually Pleasing Cost Effective Functional Maintainable Environmentally Sound These considerations are not new nor have they been without considerable discussion. Problems arise, however when some considerations are forgotten or unrecognized until after the design process is complete and implementation has started.

  • Garden Design and Plant Selection
    Garden Design and Plant Selection Now that you have selected your project goals and learned about your site’s light and soil conditions, you can start designing your Stormwater Action Project. A design shows the shape of your conservation garden and the placement of plants, trees, and shrubs. It usually is done on a grid, so that you can plan the garden dimensions and pick the right number of plants. As you draw the plants on the design, you will leave the appropriate amount of space between them. (Different plants need different amounts of growing space.) The design process usually takes a number of draft drawings, as you try out different garden shapes and different plants. Here are some design guidelines that might help: Have fun and trust your creative spirit. A tree or shrubs can act as focal points or as backdrops, depending upon the site. Have a mix of short, medium, and tall plants. Usually, short ones go in the front and tall ones in The centers of perennial plants are usually 12 to back. 18 inches apart.

  • The Living Library Supporting
    THE LIVING LIBRARY (Re)Design Innovative Challenge Team Biophilia MyDzung Chu, Eleanor Dodd, Maria Camila Pedrosa, Jessica Sibirski, and Caitlin Trethewy SUPPORTING DOCUMENT In this document, we expanded upon our design and each of the four key areas proposed by our new garden design: Equity and Access; Sustainability; Health; and Knowledge Generation. Design: As you arrive in the library you’ll pass under a beautiful pergola, providing shade to the main bicycle rack and enticing you to venture beyond into the garden space. You’ll emerge into the garden to the main activity area filled with flexible garden beds, living furniture, and lots of space to sit and meet with friends. The garden entrance is transformed from it’s current state to a glorious natural green walls and pergolas which integrate the bike space into the garden and encourage the bikers to further explore the garden using biophilic design principles of mystery. Emerging into the main space you can see many of the different elements that make this garden special. A historic challenge of the space has been in fixed layout and heavy objects that are difficult to move. The flexible configuration of our design makes the space multipurpose enabling it to adapt to the seasons and to its audiences. It incorporates garden beds on wheels, allowing user to redefine their space regularly to suit the weather, an event, or their mood. A blackboard wall will enable faculty, students, and community groups to bring their teaching into the garden. The blackboard and green wall behind also serves as a visual and auditory barrier to the noisy generator.

  • Study on the Method of Plant Landscaping in Landscape Design
    2018 International Conference on Educational Research, Economics, Management and Social Sciences (EREMS 2018) Study on the Method of Plant Landscaping in Landscape Design Zhuo Luo Gansu Forestry Technological College, School of Information Engineering, Gansu, Tianshui, 741020, China Keywords: Landscape Design, Landscaping Plant, Develop Trend Abstract: Garden design is an important factor in creating urban landscapes and building a green eco-city environment. In the actual garden design process, the quality and overall effect of the garden design can be improved through plant landscaping. In the process of plant landscaping, it is necessary to systematically configure the living habits and color characteristics of different plants to improve the effectiveness and aesthetics of the garden design. This paper discusses the plant configuration and plant landscaping in garden design, and focuses on the problems and measures in it, so as to promote the quality improvement of garden design, create an important landscape with urban characteristics, and satisfy the people's changing aesthetics standard. 1. Introduction The urban landscape design is a combination of technology and art, creating a man-made natural environment and a place for people to rest and entertain. The urban landscape design is usually considered in the field, and a certain range of areas are selected for transformation. Through the design of plant landscaping, the environment is comfortable and elegant, which is beneficial to people's health and provides a suitable place for people at all stages. However, as far as China is concerned, the development of urban landscape in landscape design is not very mature, and there are certain deficiencies.
