Site Design Portfolio
Each assignment or exercise in this class will be to produce the parts of a site-specific design portfolio.
– The portfolio can describe or promote your design ideas among stakeholders
– Well documented goals and design provide guidance for implementation and evaluation
– Portfolio organization is based on the design process
Basic Portfolio Parts• Goals
• Assessment
• Design:– Schematic
– Patch design
Basic Portfolio Parts• Assessment– What is there, now.

• Close your eyes for a moment…
Assessment Exercise
• Take out your Base Map
Ask for the BASE MAP handout…
Assessment Exercise
• Take out your Base Map and secure it to the table or your clipboard.
• Cover your basemap with an overlay of tracing paper
Assessment Exercise
• Take out your Base Map and secure it to the table or your clipboard.
• Cover your basemap with an overlay of tracing paper
• Place a title and date on overlay
Assessment Exercise
• With your memory--using only words, sketches and annotations--show the location of a few of the property’s most important elements on your overlay.
Example brainstorm notes• “Woods and fields are
choked with honeysuckle, wild grape vines, and overcrowded young trees.”
• “Facilities for apprentices and permaculture classes.”
• Well • Home
• Wind tower
• Garden
• Hill
• Pond

Basic Portfolio Parts• Assessment– Organized and based on the Scale of Permanence
– P.A. Yeomans developed the "Keyline" system in Australia in the 1950s based on the idea that some landscape elements are more permanent than others. His list was eventually altered by Bill Mollison and David Holmgren, then again recently by Dave Jacke and Eric Tonesmeier.
Basic Portfolio Parts
- The Scale of Permanence is organized from the landscape features that are most to least energy intensive to change.
Scale of Permanence?SORT BY most to least
energy intensive to change.:
Soil
Landform
Access and Circulation
Vegetation and Wildlife
Climate
Microclimate
Buildings and Infrastructure
Zones of Use
Invisible Structures
Aesthetics and Experience.
Water Ask about the prize!

– Provides a common reference for design and implementation
– Summary Assessments• Written narratives or description of features
– Overlays• Maps (usually tissue overlays on the base map) that
record feature

1 – Multiple daily interventions & visits
2 - Daily interventions & visits during most seasons
3 – Many interventions & visits each month
4 – Less than monthly…
5 – A few or no interventions per year.
These counts can be adjusted to reflect the scale and activity of a site.

Written Summary of Tree & Brush
Thin crowded young forest of Ash, Cherry, some Oak with Japanese Honeysuckle dominating the shrub layer
Dog wood and Honeysuckle bushes: dense, & barely penetratable
Cool dense White Pine grove, with some Honeysuckle
Primordial, wild Hemlock grove in swampy, root tangled soils
Swampy bog land
Basic Portfolio Parts• Goals
– Goal articulation helps stakeholders focus their purpose and needs on the site
• Assessment– Organized and based on the Scale of Permanence
– Observation and documentation provides a common reference for design and implementation
– Summary Assessments• Written narratives or description of features
– Overlays• Maps (usually tissue overlays on the base map) that record features
• Design:– Schematic
– Patch design
Homework
• Complete your basemap• Create/complete goals statement• Create overlays describing or showing: Site – Sectors – Access & Circulation– Zones of Use– Experience
