The concept landscape architecture includes landscape planning, design and creation, as well as the management of resources and buildings. With reference to smaller scale projects the design stage and planning are referred to as landscape design. Accordingly, for owners of private houses the time scales and size of projects are smaller, and the section for such projects is referred to as garden design. The specific design documentation is created independently from the scale of project, and at this stage the irreplaceable assistant for you is ConceptDraw. Included in the project documents are:
In addition to this, included in the working documentation besides various estimates and pages are also:

The convenience of ConceptDraw is that although you can only place available library objects on the page of the document, you can always create an object and add it to your own library for later use. Objects in ConceptDraw can be connected to each other or to a group. For example, if you show a water pipe in the form of a connection between two final points, when moving these points it will automatically be extended or shortened. As the plan created using ConceptDraw is not a static document, it can be used not only in the work of landscape architects and engineers, but also by landscape managers who maintain artificial landscapes such as parks and gardens, or natural landscapes like woodlands or nature reserves. The landscape manager or engineer can easily transfer ConceptDraw objects of landscape design directly to a document in order to view the end result, as well as use ConceptDraw smart objects to understand their physical influence on the environment. For example, how the shadow from an object will change depending on the position of the sun, how the finished work will look when viewed from a different angle such as the window of a building, what changes the addition of new objects to an existing landscape will make, or even how much a tree will bend in a strong wind. | ||||
It goes without saying that a plan or drawing created using ConceptDraw can be printed or exported to a variety of formats such as:

Metropolitan area networks (MAN). Computer and Network Examples →
A list of parameters on which networks differ is very long. A large network with a range up to 50 kilometers is called metropolitan area network (MAN), and this type of network can include several local area networks. Metropolitan networks in their turn connect into global area networks. Here you will see a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN). This is an extensive network which occupies a large territory including a few buildings or even the whole city. The space of the MAN is bigger than LAN, but lower than WAN. MAN comprise a lot of communication equipment and delivers the Internet connection to the LANs in the city area.
