Sustainable Site Design
Criteria, Process, and Case Studies for Integrating Site and Region in Landscape Design
by Claudia Dinep
Sustainable Site Design sets forth a comprehensive approach to context-informed sustainable landscape design.
This approach emphasizes the need to understand each site's unique potential for sustainability, especially in relation to the ecological, social, economic, and cultural conditions of its regional setting.
Six essential questions are covered:
- What people, resources, and strategies help guide sustainable site programming?
- How are the needs of project stakeholders incorporated into project scoping and direction?
- What site design potentials are revealed by the site-to-context relationship?
- How is sustainable design articulated through cohesive, artful, and well-crafted forms and space?
- How does design efficiency serve multiple goals in sustainable landscape design?
- How can design incorporate meaning to connect user and place?
