Schematic Design Flashcards
1
Q
During the pre-design, the landscape architect should have:
A
- contract for design services
- client and user interview
- detailed site base plan
- soil and geotechnical report
- initial project program
- code review
- determine the process for review and approval of the proposed project
- estimated construction budget
- project work plan
2
Q
Flood hazards are best mitigated by:
A
- expanding opportunities for stormwater infiltration
- Minimizing the uses of impervious surfaces
- Decreasing the volume of runoff during storm events
- Through restricting development to areas outside of floodplains
- Replacing “hard” engineering structures with “green” infrastructure (e.g. live plant/ willow cutting) that slows water velocities along the channel.
3
Q
How to reduce impervious surface for a parking lot
A
- pervious material for the parking lot.
- reduce the dimensions of the parking stalls.
- reduce the dimension of the parking isles.
- the total parking quantities could be reduced by integrating mass transit into the site.
