A safari park is a zoo-like commercial tourist attraction where visitors can drive in their own vehicles and observe the wildlife, rather than viewing animals in cages or small enclosures.

A safari park is a large area with enclosed areas (sometimes called paddocks). The enclosed areas may be separated by fences, ditches moats or walls. Each enclosed area will have a building for the animals that are kept in that enclosure. So if the safari park has elephants you will need an enclosure with an elephant house.

Sometimes the vegeterian animals (plant eaters) are kept in one large enclosure and the carnivores (meat eaters) will be kept in their own enclosures.

The landscape should be designed so that the animals can be seen from the viewing roads and the buildings and artificial hardscape are hidden behind trees and shrubs. All enclosures need ample water for the animals - so drainage is very important. Plants used should be planted with plants native to the animals country of origin (if the weather permits). Think of nature photographs and try and set up places where the animals can be photograped with a backdrop of trees and shrubs. Avoid plants that can poison animals. In elephant enclosures trees need to be protected from the animals.

Your road layout should meander so that people can see all parts of the enclosures. Where people can drive through between enclosures you will need cattle grids or gates to prevent animals escaping.


A plaza is normally a square surrounded by buildings. Some of the activities in a plaza are:
Eating places put chairs and umbrellas out for their customers so they sit on the plaza and eat.
Writing postcards
looking at fountains and fishponds
Kiosks selling souveneirs
A bandstand with regular music performances
Street artists such as mimes performing

The title says it all - I need a help with my Personal Project that is based on Landscape Architecture..

I'm going to design sketches of a Park, and I would like to know what type of Software(s) or Comp. Programme(s) I should use to do this?

There are points that should be known firstly:

1) I'm also going to possibly (Not yet sure) to take a real empty land in Jakarta (This park is going to be based in Jakarta) to base my "Sketches of Park" (I'm not actually making the Park, only designing - planning it)..

2) I'm going to add some Indonesia Cultures - Elements onto the Park, so I would have to also sketch some wooden carvings or the kind..


And lastly, I have another question: Do you think in my position that it would be better for me to sketch my Parks with the Computer or Manually (With hands, writing tools and paper)? Just so you know, I'm not a Tech - Savvy person, however, I can draw quite well.. The best option would be to draw it by hands (For me), but, would that be a bad idea for this Personal Project?


Thanks for your help :)

My answers would be 2 ones I know architectes and designers do use on a daily basic :
- Adobe Illustrator
- AutoCad (some architect and designer software that cost a lot and is hard to work with)

...i heard about Architect 3D and about Google Sketch Up, but dont, know them tough.

I am a Landscape Architecture student interested in outdoor spaces, particularly parks, trails, and significant buildings or plazas. I will be in New Orleans all day this Sunday probably exploring the quarter but would like to also have some destinations in mind. Also I will have two school age boys with me.

Don't miss Jackson Square and Woldenberg Park:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson_Squ are,_New_Orleans
http://www.neworleansonline.com/neworlea ns/sports/parks/woldenbergpark.html

New Orleans' City Park (which is quite large) is being rebuilt after Katrina:

http://www.neworleanscitypark.com/

The Zoo is great:

http://www.auduboninstitute.org/site/Pag eServer?pagename=Facility_Zoo

The Zoo is several miles from downtown. You can drive to the Zoo (which has free parking) or take public transit from the French Quarter.

Other things to do with kids:

Mardi Gras and the Jazz Festival are world famous events, but New Orleans hosts many festivals and celebrations throughout the year: www.nola.com/festivals

The Saint Charles Streetcar is the oldest continuously operating street railway in the world and is a "tourist attraction" in its own right. It is part of the public transit system, as are the Canal Street and Riverfront streetcar lines: www.norta.com

Wander around the French Quarter, enjoy the architecture, watch the street entertainers (do tip), and visit some of the historic buildings that have been turned into museums (go to www.frenchquarter.com and click on Historic Attractions). There are strip clubs in the first 5 blocks of Bourbon Street and their outside advertising borders on X-rated, so avoid that area if you want to avoid having to answer awkward questions from your kids.

Assuming the weather is good, you can collect a sandwich lunch and eat in the riverfront park (watch the shipping) or in Jackson Square (a very nice park).

The Riverwalk shopping center has an air-conditioned food court with dining overlooking the river (www.riverwalkmarketplace.com).

The lobby for the Westin Canal Place Hotel is on the 11th floor and overlooks the French Quarter. It is a great place for an afternoon drink/snack:(www.westin.com).

Cafe du Monde is in the French Quarter and you shouldn't miss having cafe au lait & beignets (www.cafedumonde.com). Another great coffee shop is the Croissant d'Or (at 615 Ursulines Street), which is open from 7:00am to 2:00pm and has food in addition to pastry.

Cafe Degas is a very French restaurant near City Park at 3127 Esplanade - which is not within walking distance of downtown (5 to 10 minutes by taxi). They are closed on Mondays & Tuesdays (504-945-5635).

The Napoleon House restaurant is at 500 Chartres Street in the FQ, and has a menu of great local dishes: www.napoleonhouse.com

Preservation Hall has traditional live Jazz, and doesn’t serve alcohol so all ages are welcome: www.preservationhall.com

There is a free ferry across the Mississippi at the "foot" of Canal Street. It is a short trip but like a harbor cruise w/o a guide: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/canal_stree t_ferry

The Aquarium and the new Insectarium are world-class attractions (www.auduboninstitute.org) and you should see them if you can.

The Louisiana State Museum is in the French Quarter: http://lsm.crt.state.la.us/ New Orleans is also home to a number of other museums, such as the National World War II Museum (www.ddaymuseum.org) and the New Orleans Museum of Art (www.noma.org). Both can be reached by public transit: The WWII museum is in the central business district but a long walk from the French Quarter. NOMA is not within walking distance of downtown but has free parking. Go to www.neworleansmuseums.com for info on more museums.

Check www.frenchquarter.com and http://www.nola.com/visitor/ for ideas about other things to do.

Hope you have a great time!
