This text discusses design tools used by landscape design professionals and then describes how to use these tools to graphically represent a landscape design concept. It introduces the topic of design as a process and how human preferences impact landscape design components. Students will learn the basic elements of art and how these elements are applied to aesthetic landscape design principles. They will also learn to understand how functional design principles need to be considered in concert with the aesthetic principles, and how landscape preference influences the application of the aesthetic principles. The process of landscape design is discussed in detail including: strategies for interacting with the client, selling a landscape concept, and creating a design from start (concept development) to finish (final plan). With the foundation for design principles and design process in place, this text provides detailed descriptions of plant material and hardscape material selections, respectively. Lastly, strategies for pricing the landscape, examples of landscape business models, and highlights a successful landscape design/build company are covered in order to provide concrete examples of how and why they have been successful.媒体推荐Chapter cover appropriate material for a broad overview of Landscape Design, CD-ROM and appendix ( I could actually see this part being a book on its own, especially if the case studies were annotated for successful and/or unsuccessful examples of design, showing why, etc. It could be an interesting "image library" to use as a companion book in Basic Design, Planting Design, or Structure Class)
Good text for introduction to small scale planting design courses, illustration of applied theory through examples of built work, and illustration of good design through examples of historical gardens.
