PLANNING AND LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

• Planning
- Process of thinking about and
organizing.
• Landscape
- Visible features of an area of
the Land and how it
integrates with each other.
• Architecture
- Science and Art of designing
buildings.
• Put them Together:
- Art and Science of designing
the outdoor environment,
especially designing parks or
gardens together with
buildings and roads.
SITE PLANNING
- Process of thinking about and
organizing different elements and
compositions of sites for human
settlements improving quality of life.
QUALITY OF LIFE
- General well-being of individuals and
societies, outlining negative and
positive features of life.
GEOLOGY – Earth science; study of the
components of the earth, such as:
• SOIL (type)
• ROCK (depth of bedrock,
profile & type)
• PROFILE (topography)
• SEISMIC (fault line & history)
SOIL & ROCK – Geologist/ Geotechnical Engr.
LIQUEFACTION - a process that generates a
liquid from a solid or a gas or that generates a
non-liquid phase which behaves in accordance
with fluid dynamics.
SOIL BEARING TEST - determining the
ultimate bearing capacity of the ground and
the likely settlement under a given load.
Done by: Geologist/ Geotechnical Engr.
LOAM – Fertile; for vegetation/ landscaping
SILT – Vegetation (Botanical)
HISTORY:
Manila was a SWAMP area; Mangrove tree.
(Swamp - uncultivated ground where water
collects)
Location of establishment – PSA, DTI
Wind/ Rain/ Temp. – PAGASA
Soil & Rock – PhIVolcS
Seismic – PhIVolcS
PSA - Philippine Statistics Authority
DTI - Department of Trade and Industry
MGB – Mining and Geosciences Bureau
NAMRIA - National Mapping and Resource
Information Authority
PHIVOLCS - Philippine Institute of Volcanology
and Seismology
DOST - Department of Science and Technology
The main difference
between geography and geology is
that geography is mostly dealing with the
physical overall shapes of the land. Geology is
a science that is interested in how the land
got into the shape it did. Geology is mostly
about what the ground is made up of from a
natural perspective.
