Abstract

In the landscape architectural profession the words planning and design are often used without differentiation. In addition to creating misunderstanding over our intent, confusing planning with design can result in missed opportunities for our work to benefit from the discrete strengths of each. This paper examines designers' use of the terms planning and design, and the influence of those choices on the drawings they create. It also explores the subtle but important differences in the principles, tools, and processes of planning and design.
