PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT OF LANDSCAPE ACADEMYINTRODUCTIONThe Ang Ta Phok Primary and Secondary School is situated at Khum Taing Daung, District Bati, Takeo Province.There are six existing buildings, two of which are in very poor condition and unsafe for children to be around them and it isproposed to have them demolished. In their place, Landscape Academy intend to build an Administration Building to house theoffices of the current Principal and staff. It will also house the new Landscape Academy’s Principal and staff offices, including acovered Assembly Hall at the Ground floor and two Lecture Theatres / Functions Halls at the Second floor.According to the Principal of the school, the intake of students are on a constant decline due to many reasons: Lower birth ratewith many residents moving to the city; parents who do not want their children to go to school because they need them to helpout in the farms or to have their children work for others in order to get some income, despite the fact that schooling is FREE!HOW TO ENCOURAGE CHILDREN TO STAY IN SCHOOL LONGERIn order to encourage students to continue with their studies, Landscape Academy would like to introduce the “bottom up, handson” method to encourage children to pick up some “livelong skills” as part of the Vocational Training, as required in theLandscape Industries. These subjects are in addition to their normal Secondary Class education. As such, students after finishingtheir Upper Secondary School can choose to continue with their education with the regular school or enroll into LandscapeAcademy and learn new skills which can provide good opportunity in securing better paying jobs, or start their own business inthe Landscape Trade. In addition, students get to learn English as a Second Language and also Computer Science which are partof their curriculum.With the ability to speak and write a Second Language, it would also provide them the opportunity to travel and work overseas.Besides, Landscape Architecture is a new profession in Cambodia and with the fast development taking place, there are plenty ofjobs available for the graduates, who will get higher salary compared to other trades. Landscape Academy aim to train a largepool of proficient Landscape Architects to help your Country’s Town Planners to plan the future city of Cambodia.PROPOSED MASTERPLANThe school property is extensive, 4.5 hectare in size, and has the potential for Landscape Academy to establish its firstLandscape Architecture School, making full use of the space to build a comprehensive model of the entire Landscape Masterplanon the site. It can also demonstrate to the students on how to achieve their own planning, learning from the exhibits which theycan touch, feel and embrace. They will also be able to learn to do Maintenance and Management of the entire Landscape Works.Every element in this Masterplan is a subject every student will have to learn about the subject. 1
