Conceive, Create and Consummate Outdoor Spaces

Landscape of any outdoor space creates an identity and setting for any architectural project. Spatial organisation of built - unbuilt and their symbiotic relation established right at stage of site planning, creates a right canvas for the various landscape elements to perform. Major roles include contextual connections, functional relationship, microclimatic improvisations, ecological and environmental concerns, aesthetic appeal with seasonal changes and envisaging the emotional bond. Outdoor spaces especially with the built environment when tackled as after thoughts, lose the thematic binding of the entire site. This paper studies and analyses the engagement of landscape design thought process from the conception to creation to consummation. The research process, would be using the author’s projects as sample case studies.
