Landforms are natural shapes of the earth formed by geological processes. Basic landforms like ridges, valleys, and peaks can be manipulated in landscape design to achieve intended functions or results. Grade changes using elements like walls, steps, and ramps can direct movement through a landscape and create a sequence of experiences, such as an exposed area at the top of a hill or an enclosed feeling in an amphitheater. For example, at Gasworks Park, a large mound was created at the water's edge to provide views, and berms at the top create a contained area. At Olympic Park, landforms define the walls of a valley on one side while architecture does so on the other, and the stadium is tucked into the

Landforms are the identifiable shapes the earth naturally forms due to geological
processes. Basic landforms are manipulated to create functional designs so as to
achieve a desired intent or result. Natural shapes : - plane surfaces - ridges - valleys - peaks - depressions Grade change devices , such as walls , steps, ramps, can be used to lead or direct us through a landscape, to create a sequence of experiences and spaces such as an exposed condition on the top of a knoll, or an enclosed feeling created by an amphitheatre or bowl-like form. Literature studies:1. GASWORKS PARK: Landform was incorporated into the design to take advantage of the view and waterfront location. Great mound as created at the water's edge to provide vantage point for overlooking the park , lake union and the city skyline. In this park, a path spiralled up the mound on the waterfront side of the landform. With this layout the view, one of the primary reasons to climb to the top , is revealed to the park user. Berms placed at the top of the great mound create a crater like form provide a sense of containment. 2. OLYMPIC PARK This park basically shows how a complementary relationship can be achieved between architecture and landscape architecture. The walls of the valley are defined by landform on one side and by architecture on the other.
It is traversed by an extensive system of walks and paths which, through changes
in width , materials , steepness, and alignment , create a variety of experiences , from a highly exposed to extremely intimate, for the pedestrian. One side of the stadium has been tucked into the landform to reduce the apparent size of the structure so that it does not overpower the park landscape. From the park , the stadium appears much smaller than its capacity of 84000, since it seems to sit in a "bowl" rather than pop out of a flat plane.
