i) Which relative pronouns can you hear Dan use?
ii) What information follows the relative clause?
Activity 3.3
Okay, we're going to give some feedback about this project called
skate park with mount. As your title suggests, the topic of your
landscape design is about designing a skate park. When you say
mount, that's usually short for mountain. Calling outside a
mountain is a bit of an exaggeration. We tend to refer to the site
as a mound or hill, as it has a small hill on it. But sometimes in
design, it's okay to exaggerate. If you want to create a strong
impression about something. But anyway, it's clear to see that
your project is based on designing a skate park.

Activity 3.5
If we go straight into your talking about your perspective, in the middle of
your sheet. The one that shows the skate park, we can see that you've made
a good effort at modelling the skateboarding landscape for the level you're
working at. And you've started, and I can tell that you've started an AutoCAD
taking it to sketch up, where you've done the 3d modelling three dimensional
modelling. Then taking it into Photoshop to finish it, which is a very good way
of working using the different software together. However, the final effect of
this perspective is not that great. You know, the finishing of it in Photoshop
could be a lot a lot better. But also the modelling of it. And the 3d modelling
and sketch up could have been done better as well, that as I said, this is quite
a hard design to model and to draw, so you've made a good attempt.

Activity 4.2
Comparing that perspective we were just talking about to
the bottom perspective brings up some questions,
especially around the visual approach to your
communication of your project. This perspective down the
bottom is very different style is a very different style
compared to the other perspective. And compared to the
other drawings on the sheet, which is a bit of a problem.
It's good to try different styles of drawing and approaches
to drawing. But for the final work, we wanted something
that had a strong visual consistency.

Activity 4.3
Talking about the plan, which is on the right-hand side,
the second image down, It's just a lot. It's just way too
small. The plans and important drawing, it's much too
small. It's also missing, you're supposed to tell us the
scale of the plan. And You can also tell us which direction
is north can have a North error. And also with the
sections they're missing scale. So This leads us to see that
you're missing some of the fundamental standards
related to doing architecture, architectural or landscape
architectural drawings.

Activity 4.3
Let's talk about the layout of your sheet, the drawings at the top The
two sections. And This is probably not the best drawing to choose to
introduce your project. Usually We start with the site location, or
something about analysing the site, or sometimes something about
your concept. But don't usually start with the section drawings. So you
need to put more thought into the arrangement in the sequence of
drawings.
In terms of action plan, Just one more point, The plan and the sections
have box or rectangle around them. This was from illustrator or CAD
AutoCAD. This doesn't need to be in your final drawings. So just make
sure that when you bring your final drawings into the final layout, that
you take away the things you don't need in terms of the action plan,
