Lost and Found: A Forgotten Notebook

Lost and Found: A Forgotten Notebook

Whilst sorting out my work at the end of the semester, I found one of my old notebooks that I would take to lectures so I'd thought I'd upload these scans to show my working process.

Analysis of the Cheltenham Local Plan

Image
Analysis of the Cheltenham Local Plan Legislation and planning are key components in Landscape Architecture as they can underpin creative decisions. This blog post is a quick summary of Cheltenham’s Local Plan in relation to the North Place design project. (I’ve previously studied this document for a different module to do with Cheltenham’s housing demands) I have highlighted the key areas to consider on the contents page, see below. It is important to note that this plan, adopted from July 2020 till 2031, was written in compliance with the Joint Core Strategy (JCS), published in December 2017, as part of Cheltenham, Gloucester, and Tewkesbury, in order to deliver a cohesive future vision for the county. In addition, the policies have been informed by the National Planning Policy Framework as set out by the UK Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government in July 2021.  Along with the separate specialized sections, as highlighted above, there are three main objectives, A,...

AutoCad Process of CUT/FILL

AutoCAD Process of CUT/FILL Step-by-step process of how I calculated the CUT/FILL volumes for Canon Park for the Sustainable Technology module AD6604  existing contours = dashed line  proposed contours = solid line pond = blue  red = CUT green = FILL 1. DRAW EXISTING CONTOUR LINES 2. LOCATE NEW POND 3. DRAW NEW CONTOUR LINES & JOIN TO EXISTING 4. ISOLATE EACH CONTOUR AND HATCH FILL/CUT  (BELOW = FILL = GREEN)  (ABOVE = CUT = RED) 5. ADD UP TOTAL AREAS X HEIGHT CHANGE (0.5m for contours & 0.25m for pond/swales) CUT: RED CONTOURS = 4074.73  x  0.5 = 2037.3650  m³ SWALES = 456.81 x 0.25 = 114.2025  m³  POND = 1826.64 x 0.2 = 456.6600  m³  TOTAL CUT VOLUME = 2608.2275  m³  FILL: GREEN = 3435.34 x 0.5 = 1717.67  m³ TOTAL FILL VOLUME = 1717.67  m³ DIFFERENCE = 890.5575  m³ As there is a substantial difference, consider increasing mound size...

Sacred Geometry

Sacred Geometry What is 'Sacred Geometry'?  Sacred geometry when detached from its spiritual meaning can be described as "the underlying geometry found in nature" that is attributed to pure mathematics that causes recurring patterns such as fractals and spirals.  For example, the Fibonacci sequence is a form of sacred geometry.  It stems from the Italian mathematician Leonardo of Pisa who had the nickname 'Fibonacci' meaning 'son of Bonacci', who in 1202 published a book that illustrated how to calculate profit using the Hindu-Arabic arithmetic.  The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers. For example, 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, … Spirals There is a special relationship between the Fibonacci numbers and the Golden Ratio. Equally significant, the golden ratio has impacted why we find certain shapes visually appealing because they appear to be perfectly balance...
