What is landscape architecture? Is it gardening, or science, or
art? In this book, Bruce Sharky provides a complete overview of the
discipline to provide those that are new to the subject with the
foundations for future study and practice. The many varieties of
landscape practice are discussed with an emphasis on the
significant contributions that landscape architects have made
across the world in daily practice. Written by a leading scholar
and practitioner, this book outlines the subject and explores how,
from a basis in garden design, it 'leapt over the garden wall' to
encapsulate areas such as urban and park design, community and
regional planning, habitat restoration, green infrastructure and
sustainable design, and site engineering and implementation.
Coverage includes: The effects that natural and human factors have
upon design, and how the discipline is uniquely placed to address
these challenges Examples of contemporary landscape architecture
work - from storm water management and walkable cities to
well-known projects like the New York High Line and the London
Olympic Park Exploration of how art and design, science,
horticulture, and construction come together in one subject
Thinking about Landscape Architecture is perfect for those wanting
to better understand this fascinating subject, and those starting
out as landscape architecture students.
