OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS 



89 



(a) for a limited portion of the park which 

 the competitor regards as best exemplifying 

 his ability in the more naturalistic aspects of 

 landscape design, including naturalistic shap- 

 ing of the ground surface and informal com- 

 positions of foliage masses and flowering 

 plants. 



(b) for a limited portion of the park which 

 the competitor regards as best exemplifying 

 his ability in the more formal aspects of land- 

 scape design. The drawings required by this 

 sub-section (4b) are not to include construc- 

 tion plans for buildings but are to include 

 complete plans for structures of an archi- 

 tectural character other than buildings, with 

 important details at a scale of not less than 

 3 inch to the foot. 



These drawings, lists and specifications are 

 to be as complete and as detailed in respect 

 to everything within the area which they cover 

 as would be required to ensure the satisfac- 

 tory realization of the design in practice by a 

 contractor or contractors without supplemen- 

 tary oral instructions. They are to be accom- 

 panied by a detailed estimate of the unit quan- 

 tities of every item necessary to the final re- 

 sult desired, but assignment of unit costs is 

 not required. 



5. A careful written statement enumerating 

 the drawings and other material submitted by 

 the competitor and supplying such explana- 

 tion as will help the jury to a clear understand- 

 ing and appreciation of his design and par- 

 ticularly of the reasons for the various de- 

 cisions involved in it. 



In all cases, except for the limitations 

 above noted under Sections 1 and 3, the 



form of presentation — includinsj material, 

 style of rendering', etc. — is left entirely to 

 the competitor to determine. Weight 

 will be given to the quality of his draw- 

 ings as evidence of his ability to express 

 his ideas through that medium precisely, 

 agreeably and without waste of effort, 

 and to the quality of his written state- 

 ment as evidence of his ability to write 

 clear, terse and effective English. 



Local Conditions governing the solution of 

 the problem: 



The competitor is to assume as the location 

 for the problem some part of the Continental 

 United States with the climate of which he is 

 familiar, and is to specify the climate at least 

 as definitely as by naming the State in which 

 he assumes the location to be. It will be as- 

 sumed that his specification of the locality 

 does not carry with it the assumption of any 

 peculiar local conditions controlling the design 

 other than general climatic conditions, and 

 other than those set forth in the statement of 

 the problem and on the topographical map. 



As to soil, the site is assumed to have a 

 deep sandy loam of good fertility with out- 

 crops of gneiss or hard sandstone at the points 

 indicated on the topographical map. The rock 

 is assumed to slope outward and downward 

 at an angle of 30 degrees from the vertical.
