LA 1201 Chapter : LA 1201 Semester Project Spring 2012
Document Summary
Using your knowledge of landscape architecture as well as your personal interests, search for a site that has a civic/social/environmental need for improvement. The needed improvement must be within the realm of landscape architecture, so focus on those aspects only! A private site such as a residence or apartment complex is not a valid choice. The project must be something for the good of the public (civic/social). Tip: think of opportunities for improvement and not in terms of. Focus on the potential that a place has! The location of the site can be anywhere. It is up to you to be a keen observer and to identify the place and the needs. Analyze the pertinent features and needs of potential or current users of the project site. Keep asking yourself if a qualified landscape architect could provide the needed improvements. This will help to keep you focused on what is important.
