CIVIC and INSTITUTIONAL DESIGN
A guiding principle for successful planning of civic and institutional site development is to create a coherent environment, which acts both as a visually satisfying expression and as a catalyst for the economic functioning of the facility. Five primary design factors act as a framework for the landscape architect to realize this principle.
- Site Constraints -
Identifying factors that limit or organize a development.
- Environmental Considerations -
Analysis of key environmental considerations that will influence the site development.
- Location of the Facility -
Building a framework for the site development by proper placement of the proposed buildings or facility.
- Open Space Structure -
Creation of a recognizable and identifiable open space for the facility.
- Open Space Circulation -
Creating a circulation system within the open space that encourages social interaction and maximizes functionality.
