Design Process

Abstract

Design is a process of determining how to transform existing conditions into preferred ones. The designer—or design team—must determine needs, formulate a strategy to meet them, then select materials and compose them into patterns to achieve some desired objective, typically within the limits of available time and resources. In landscape architecture, the process of design is complicated by the need to coordinate a series of tasks to be performed by a number of people over an extended period of time. Landscape architects also contend with the variety of competing interests to be resolved by the participating parties, as well as the fact that many of the materials used in their designs have a life of their own. Given the complexity of the challenge, procedural theories have been developed to facilitate the process of design and improve the predictability of outcomes. The next four chapters address different aspects of procedural theory.KeywordsDesign ProcessDesign ConceptDesign FormDesign IdeaDesign ThinkingThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
