Halswell Secondary School : submitted in part fulfilment of the requirements for the Diploma in Landscape Architecture from Lincoln College, University of Canterbury

Abstract

To prepare a landscape design for a secondary school in Halswell by: Firstly: Selecting a site based on the criteria of nearness of population, available undeveloped land, existing or potential landscape features, and potential linkage with existing open space and reserves. Secondly: Becoming aware of the educational needs of today, and thus surveying and appraising the site so as to develop a functional site layout. Thirdly: Developing a master plan of the whole site to exploit any existing landscape features, and providing a series of spaces suiting the needs of small groups through to active recreational needs. Fourthly: Detailing of one area to the working drawing stage.
