  • Abstract in English : The designed landscape is the result of a set of processes, natural and human. It is important that landscape designers understand these, and respond imaginatively and responsibly to them. This paper argues that there is a process of landscape design by which the designer evaluates the requirements of design brief against the capacity of a site to ensure that the impact of the inevitable changes are accommodated with minimal environmental disruptions
