Goals and objectives

When considering landscape design, we confront with a large amount of diverse conditions. We should think about which kind of design is the most apt in each case, and understand the relationship of the site with different design approaches. Think about landscape elements under various conditions in order to get clues. Then, explore many different design methods and formulate a landscape design solution.
