q) Implementation, Construction and Maintenance of Landscape Architecture Landscape Architecture & Planning The landscape is a cultural asset and a heritage resource that should be managed rationally, for this reason its study and prior assessment should be considered as an important variable in any planning project Of the territory. Landscape Planning prospective vision of the site, seeks the sensitive relationship of the natural elements with the ratifícales, in an orderly, efficient, aesthetic and ecological integration for a harmonious development of the place. It integrates geology, topography, vegetation, hydrology, fauna, flora, climate and microclimate, culture and society, to reduce environmental costs of projects.
r) Environmental Urbanism / Urban Design The methodology of Environmental or Landscape Urbanism is multidisciplinary by definition; integrates knowledge and techniques from disciplines such as environmental engineering, urban strategy, landscape ecology, technology, and architecture. Urban design, horizontal or void architecture, resolves the articulations between the various building languages, integrates dynamics of land uses and redefines the areas of circulation and permanence of urban spaces generated by new uses and their needs, within the philosophy improvement of the quality of urban life and its indicators.
