Integration of Structures to Landscape

Academic Year 2023/24

AR051 course is part of 1 study plan

B-P-C-APS (N) / APS Winter Semester 4th year

Design of a structure is only a part of system of activities leading to final and successful realization of a structure. After finishing building activities it is very important to integrate the structure to the environment. The structure should naturally merge with the surrounding. Despite the structure shape, the terrain adjustment might significantly help in this effort.

3. Main principles of landscape ecology
4. Function of forest in landscape ecology - introduction (production function, soil protection, climatic, biotic, estetic, social, ...)
5. Landscape ecology - concept
6. Evolution and classification of landscape, structure and dynamics
7. Stress theory, lanscape stability
8. Civil structures in landscape
9. Problem of integration of civil structure in landscape
10. Construction elements used for terrain adjustment (ramps, stairways, retaining walls, terrain benchs, sidewalks, ...)
11. Materials the elements
12. Realization of terrain adjustments, composition of vegetation in
space and kinds
13. Designer's Technological workflow of refilling, restoration or creation new vegetation for new spaces.
