The chapter begins with the process, recognize human use areas, define known components, and men apply techniques. Landscape architectural design, or any design field for that matter, is an evolution through mese steps to a final solution. A landscape architectural firm may be commissioned to design a segment of a site that has an existing master plan developed by a multidisciplinary firm that specializes in regional, city, or large-scale site planning. The landscape architect’s careful coordination with a project interior designer will benefit the project immensely by providing a measure of elegance and taste. The landscape architect often needs to consult with other disciplines to a lesser degree and should try to identify who they are and what they are needed for early in the design process.
