A visually engaging introduction to landscape architectural design
Landscape architectural design seeks to create environments that
accommodate users' varying lifestyles and needs, incorporate cultural
heritage, promote sustainability, and integrate functional requirements
for optimal enjoyment. Foundations of Landscape Architecture introduces
the foundational concepts needed to effectively integrate space and form
in landscape design.
With over five hundred hand-rendered and digital drawings, as
well as photographs, Foundations of Landscape Architecture illustrates
the importance of spatial language. It introduces concepts, typologies,
and rudimentary principles of form and space. Including designs for
projects such as parks, campuses, and memorials, this text provides the
core concepts necessary for designers to shape functional landscapes.
Additionally, chapters discuss organizational and spatial design
structures based on orthogonal forms, angular forms, and circular forms.
Helping students, professionals, and lifelong learners alike,
Foundations of Landscape Architecture delivers a concrete understanding
of landscape architectural design to inspire one's imagination for
countless types of projects.
