Preliminary Design Master Planning For NUVIS, a landscape architecture driven master plan document identifies the needs of the community, evaluates future demand, and explores opportunities for physical planning. This ideology applies to recreational master plans as well as urban master planning. The goals are to develop a comprehensive vision for a park system, individua park, recreation facility, trails and open space or any public space, and includes programming and site plans which meet the goals and vision for the community. It is a strategic framework providing guidance and policy direction to be used for the eventual development of a public space. Master plan documents may include, but are not limited to: • Background information including statementlimagery of current conditions, and notable historical information. • Supporting studies and need assessments of the site. • Notes from community meetings and stakeholder input from public process • Statement of goals and overall strategy for the project area • Funding information (if available) • Conceptual landscape site plans with thematic imagery boards Often NUVIS assists the City/agency at the master plan level the grant process. Formal exhibits from the master plan assist in the grant application process in order to make a case for the funding of the project. Concept Plans At this stage, NUVIS discusses design strategy with staff and responds initially with land use designation alternatives in plan view format. Conceptual 'tissue' studies will be prepared illustrating proposed theming ideas including, but not limited to site layout, landscape planting, paving, water feature, signage/monuments, site furniture, and accent elements. Alternative concepts may be created in 'bubble diagrammatic' format for review and comment. Computer generated exhibits may be employed to help further convey the design intent. Exhibits are typically rendered in color. Deliverables may include: • Program Development and Description • Opportunities/Constraints Maps/Exhibits • Computer Generated Before & After Images • Thematic Imagery Boards (Photographs) • Diagrammatic Design (Bubble Diagrams/Master Plan) Schematic Plans Once an alternative is chosen by the agency, this stage involves refining and delineating the alternative into one (1) succinct plan. A strategy meeting will be held with agency project staff/personnel to review input and establish direction. A draft conceptual plan will be prepared and accompanied by refined thumbnail sketches or illustrative elevations/cross sections supporting the recommendations. The plan would graphically illustrate the various land use elements and detail the landscape treatment including, but not limited to: 17
