Context The concept of the transect is derived from a scientific method of investigating a sequence of environments by sampling geographical cross-sections of the target region. Each asset could be assigned an arbitrary value, depending on societal input. Almost 40 years ago Ian McHarg proposed a bold theory and a set of ecologically based planning methods in Design with Nature (1 969).

Polygon and grid overlay procedures produce useful information only if they are performed on data layers that are properly georegistered. Ian McHarg wrote a book about this called Design With Nature. Manning's overlay map methods, later adopted by the renowned landscape architect Ian McHarg, providedthe basis for computer mapping software in widespread use today.One of the eleven founders of the American Society of Landscape Architects, Manning also ran one of the nation's largest offices, where he trained several influential designers . data that describe both the locations and characteristics of spatial features on the Earth's surface. we should all ask several fundamental questions: Are we developing the collective conditions that are best Figure 9.6.2 Map overlay is a procedure for combining the attributes of intersecting features that are represented in two or more georegistered data layers. 0000000015 00000 n numerous awards and recognition including the Harvard Lifetime Achievement Overlay techniques were originally advanced by Ian McHarg who used a manual overlay cartographic process which he describes in his 1969 book Design with Nature.
