The Landscape Architecture Process, From the Past by Now

In fact, the basic questions of architecture can not be explained through any kind of effort in developing scientific designing procedures. In the recent decades many attempts have taken place for the improvement of design process and procedures. No exact and systematic procedure (except a few cases) has been presented yet and most procedures refer to the application methods or a part of designing. Design procedures are usually drawn as a set of separate parts that follow one another in a continuous set. Some of the architects suggest a circular pattern in design procedure, like Jones’ circular pattern for architecture designing. This circulation of organized steps is an arranged pattern in the procedure of designing. However, various definitions of landscape architecture signifies how wide this field of study is, therefore, sometimes these definitions do not have any strong scientific basis. In this article, after reviewing the essentials of landscape design and the two approaches of SAD and PAKILDA are analyzed.
