  The concept of landscape design.  Basic terminology and course problematics

The main goal of landscape design is to create a spatial-friendly environment that has all the necessary functional, aesthetic and ecological properties.

Therefore, the issues of their definition, classification, structure for the architecture are not only theoretical, but also of practical importance.

Landscape design is the most important area of ​​activity for a landscape architect. In the design process, all the drawings necessary to create an object in kind are developed, all additional documents are prepared - estimates, calculations, explanatory notes, etc., accompanying the project. While working on the project, the landscape architect should not only be well aware of the task assigned to him, not only know how to accomplish this task, but also have a clear understanding of his profession, its content and historical development. Only based on the rich experience of the past, owning the entire arsenal of compositional and technical methods developed by past generations, can we confidently move forward.
