Step 5. Schematic Site design
The land use and circulation diagram might be reviewed with the client
to obtain client input and approval. It is often customary to discuss with
the client the merits of one or more alternative land use diagrams. This
is a valuable strategy, allowing the client to identify a preference. The
preferred diagram might be a blending of portions from other diagrams.
From this client review, a final diagram would be prepared, serving as
the basis in developing a schematic site design.
Figures 3.13, 3.14, and 3.15 are examples of schematic design plans.
These types of plans transform the bubble-like diagrams of the land use
allocation and circulation plans into the actual shapes and dimensions
of the various program elements. Schematic design plans are drawn
to scale, as shown in the examples. Delineation of materials is shown
but not specified. For instance, the plan may show the location of trees
and shrubs but not their species or size. Different patterns of pavement
would be shown but not specified in terms of actual materials.
