Drawing for Landscape Architects: Construction and Design Manual
Product ID: 38105003
Few other professions can match landscape architecture’s requirement graphically to represent and communicate so much content and so many ideas. From large-scale master-plans and strategic visions, design concepts and outdoor experiences, to specific vegetation and precise construction details – at some point everything has to be explained on paper. This handbook focuses on two areas which, even in the age of digital media, are still staples of the profession: orthographic projections and blackline drawings. Intended to be both instructional and inspirational, this book covers the basics of landscape architectural representation, hand drawing and sketching in an easy to understand way, encouraging readers to draw their ideas and develop their own graphic language and style. Showcased in these pages are many drawings from international landscape architecture offices offering practical guidance and numerous examples in key thematic areas: > Basics of orthographic and parallel projections > Introduction to drawing tools, applications and effects > Symbols in different scales, styles and abstraction levels > Drawing perspectives: constructed and free-hand > Basic principles for layout and lettering Review: Wonderful, beautiful resource for landscape designers and landscape architects. - Beautiful book! Excellent for a text book or gift to a landscape architect. Substantial content, ranges from across many topics. Very nicely bound- I love the elastic closure and bookmark feature. It seems very classic. I am a landscape architectural instructor, and I will give this to my husband and buy another to keep at work! Review: Love it - Amazing book. Very elaborate on all your landscape graphic needs. When I can’t conceptualize, I use this book to help me out

Amazing!!
Honestly is there anything bad to even say about this book? For sure get the hardcover, it is worth it. It comes with an elastic closure, bookmark, and color photos in the back, which the paperback does not have,

Un livre indispensable pour des étudiants du paysage
Un livre très bien conçu qui apporte plusieurs possibilités face aux contextes d'aménagement auquels on peut être confronté. Il est simplement dommage que celui ci ne soit pas encore traduit en français. Assurément un livre indispensable à chaque aménageur du paysage.

Ein muss für Gartengestaltung
Das Buch ist auf English, aber es ist einfach genial. Das Buch selbst ist wie ein Zeichenblock gestaltet, was nett ist. Der Inhalt ist genau, das wonach ich gesucht habe... lange gesucht habe. Als Landschaft Architektur Studentin, hat es mir die Basis gegeben und das gewisse plus um Garten zeichnerich gestallten zu können (Planzeichnung und Ansichtszeichnung). Es erlaubt jedem seinen ganz eigenen Styl zu finden. Ein Teil über Perspektiv ist auch drin für diejenigen die damit Schwierigkeiten haben und am Ende findet man Bespiele von Profis... die das schon können. Fazit: das Buch ist nicht billig aber sehr empfehlendswert!
