ecological processes of the immediate
area and the larger region”

scientific principles to the land - its
planning , designing, and
management for the public health
and welfare, with the commitment to
the concept of stewardship of the
land ”

 DEFINATION OF SOFT LANDSCAPE

• Referred to element of the plants whether trees,

climbers, shrubs, herbs or ground covers.
• Landscape more to organic which its element
depends on nature and times.
• Laying out of an area where its design element
depends on natural features.
 CONCEPT
• Concept project is to make the existing compound
beautiful and useful for people, for example, to make
the compound for recreational use. From a dull
scenery to place for taking a break and maybe for
picnic.

• Using flower such as Cuphea can make place more

beautiful and colourful and Acalypha Siemensis as
fence can make the place well organize and
attractive. The usage of high tree such as
Pterrocarpus and a man-made pond can cool down
the temperature on hot sunny day as we know that
big tree give shade and water can absorb heat very
well.

• Forming a very well designed and constructed wakaf
