Sam Dunlap Design Process 1
- 4. Goals ArticulationDefining the realm of possibilities for our siteBrainstorm. Get it down, then get it good.Qualities, things, problems, likesCrops, elements, animals, functionsFunctional analysis: what are their needs, outputs, preferences, tolerances, etc.Why do we want these things?What is the inspiration for the design?
- 5. Goals ArticulationUse Ethics and Principles to guide youClient interviewFunctional analysisWhat does the land need?
- 6. ResultsGoals Articulation Summary. Outline form. (2-5 pages)Goals Statement. Approximately 3 sentences that answers the question, “why?”.It’s your mission statementList of questions to guide your analysis and assessment (Goals guide the A&A)Given these goals, what do I need to know about the site to achieve them?Organized by the scale of permanence
- 7. Make your base map
- 8. Analysis & AssessmentConnects the goals to the siteAnalysis = what? (observations)Assessment = so what? (interpretations)
- 9. Analysis & AssessmentUndirected observationThematic observations guided by the Scale of PermanenceSo, what is the scale of permanence?
- 10. Scale of PermanenceClimateLandformWaterLegal IssuesAccess & CirculationVegetation & WildlifeMicroclimatesBuildings & InfrastructureZones of UseSoilAesthetics
- 11. A&AOverlay for each aspect of the SOP• observationsInterpretationsTools that we might use??Pick the 3-5 most important observations & interpretations from each overlay
- 12. ResultsA&A Summary -combination of the most important or influential observations and interpretations from all aspects of the SOP -summarizes the current reality on the site and its implications for design in relation to the goals -lays foundation for decisions in design phaseA&A discovers the design
- 13. Design PhaseIntegration: integrate our imagination of what could be with our knowledge of what is (ie- goals and A&A)
- 14. Design Concept3 sentence statement that integrates the site, goals & inhabitantsAnswers the question, “how?”Accompanied by simple sketchOffers guidance for schematic & detailed design
- 15. Schematic DesignPatterns & RelationshipsFunction, purpose, elements, and the relationships that exist between themRough size, shape, locationFat marker, big movements
- 16. ResultsA chosen schematic designSimple bubble diagrams with writing to describe the rough pattern, size, shape, location, & functionRough budgetList of habitat-defining species & elements
- 17. Detailed DesignRefined schematicAs accurate as possibleFiner pencils/markers, smaller motionsDetermine exact size, shape, locationClearly define each “patch” and the site prep needed
- 18. ResultsDesign criteria for each patch, including primary and secondary purposesAccurate drawingRefined cost estimatesSpecies master list
- 19. Patch DesignZoom in on each “patch” and design it in detailDecide what goes where, exactly
- 20. ResultsKnow what goes whereDetailed drawings of each “patch”Plan for site prep, establishment and construction of each “patch”Final budget estimates
- 21. ImplementationMake it happen!!Planting, buildingAnd, oh yeah, maintaining!!
- 22. EvaluationDoes your design meet the goals that you laid out?What have you learned?How can you refine your goals based on what you have learned?… and here we go again
- 23. Sam’s PlacePleasant plain, ohio 2009-
- 26. GoalsThe site exists as a private, partially wooded oasis, protected from wind, passersby and air- and water-borne agricultural chemicals.Water infiltration increases over time.Water is filtered as it moves through the site.The design pays tribute to the site’s history as a marsh/wetland.Soils increase in fertility and organic matter over time.A mix of annual and perennial crops provides foods throughout the year.Plantings reduce the area of lawn, and thus, lawn maintenance.A diverse mix of plants attracts pollinators and other beneficial wildlife.The site offers space for education and learningDisease-resistant varieties reduce the need for maintenance.
- 27. Analysis & AssessmentClimate, plant hardiness zones, etc.which plants will surviveLand is relatively flatincrease vertical dimension through planting in diverse layersLow spots with frequently waterlogged soilsenhance in some places
- 28. build up the soil
- 30. Deep-rooted plantsPlace where snow is piled when ploweddon’t plant woodies
- 31. herbaceous plantsAnalysis & AssessmentFarm equipment accessMaintainPrimary wind directionsplant trees as windbreakSeptic leach fielddon’t plant trees or perennials hereBuried cables and telephone linesHardpan soils. Clay. Restrictive layer. Anaerobic. But fertile, with decent soil life.feed the worms
- 32. Add lots of organic matter
- 33. Deep-rooted plantsLots of road frontageblock it to create more privacyA&ASun sectorAg chemical sector (everywhere!)
