 Landscape Architecture
 the design of outdoor areas, landmarks, and structures to achieve environmental, social-behavioural, or
aesthetic outcomes.
 is the professional skill of composing man-made structures, including buildings and paving, with the
natural landscape and with designs for landform, water and planting.
 For the period before 1800, the history of landscape gardening (later called landscape architecture) is
largely that of master planning and garden design for manor houses, palaces and royal properties,
religious complexes, and centers of government. 
 The term landscape architecture was invented by Gilbert Laing Meason in 1828, and John Claudius
Loudon (1783–1843) was instrumental in the adoption of the term landscape architecture by the
modern profession.
 The term "landscape architect" was used as a professional title by Frederick Law Olmsted in the
United States in 1863.
 Olmsted and Vaux then in 1863 adopted 'landscape architect' as a professional title and used it to
describe their work for the planning of urban park systems.
 Landscape architecture has since become a worldwide profession, submitted for recognition by
the International Labour Organization and represented on a world-wide basis by the International
Federation of Landscape Architects.
 Garret Eckbo and Dan Kiley were prominent modernist landscape architects in the mid-20th
century.
 Frederick Olmsted and George Oscar gave a different slant to the meaning of 'landscape
architecture', using the term to describe the whole professional task of designing a composition of
planting, landform, water, paving and other structures.

Art and Science of designing the outdoor
environment, especially designing parks or
gardens together with buildings and roads.
Site Planning

 Process of thinking about and

organizing different elements and
compositions of sites for human
settlements improving quality of
life.
 Quality of Life
 General well-being of
individuals and societies,
outlining negative and positive
features of life.
 Site Planning occurs after Strategic Planning has taken place and after the land use has been decided in
relation to social, economic, and environmental needs.
 Site planning is an integral part of land use planning that involves the arrangement of structures, natural
or man-made, on the land and shaping the spaces between.
 “Site Planning” involves planning for a smaller urban area already defined for commercial, residential,
industrial, recreational, or mixed use development.
 Site planning determines the detailed layout of an area so that it functions effectively in relation to a given
range of land uses on the site and others around it.
 Site planning is working out the detail of:
1. what should happen on a given area of land;
2. how it should happen;
3. what it will cost to implement and manage proposed developments on the area of land.
 While land use planning deals with broad policy areas on land use utilization, site planning focuses more
on the intimate relationship between man and space and between building and space.
 Site Planning is viewed as a natural extension of land use planning
