LANDSCAPING
• In site plans, we indicate the positions of tree trunks and
lightly outline their foliage. Draw these outlines freehand
to give the foliage atextural quality.
• If the scale of the site plan permits, we can also show the
branch structures of the trees.
• To contrast with a light ground surface, we can give the
foliage atext ure and tonal value.
• The types of plants we use in a drawing should be
appropriate to the geographic location of the
architecture. It is therefore necessary to differentiate
between deciduous trees. conifers. and palms.
• In floor plans, we cut through the trunks of trees and
therefore only suggest the extent of their foliage.
• The tonal value and texture of shrubs and ground
coverings should provide the degree of contrast
necessary to define adjacent pavements, decks, and
other exterior construction.
