Zusatztext 'A standard text that anyone interested in spatial design would welcome on the bookshelf.' (The Garden Design Journal! April 2012) Informationen zum Autor Norman K. Booth, FASLA, RLA (Columbus, OH) Professor Emeritus, The Ohio State University, Knowlton School of Architecture; Longtime Section Head, Section of Landscape Architecture at OSU; Co-author of standard textbook, Residential Landscape Architecture; Frequent jurist for national competitions; Member of the Landscape Architecture Accreditation Board's accreditation teams that review and evaluate academic programs in landscape architecture. Klappentext 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. Zusammenfassung One of the foremost objectives of landscape architectural design is to impart an organizational order in the landscape. Heavily illustrated, this enlightening book introduces the basic elements and principles of design, and then explores the spatial language used to organize and shape landscape architectural design.
