Since the first edition was published in 1992, Nick Robinson's The
Planting Design Handbook has been widely used as a definitive text
on landscape architecture courses throughout the world. It remains
one of the few titles written by a practicing landscape architect
and educator who is also a horticulturalist and accomplished
plantsman, and which deals with the application of planting design
on a large scale in landscape architecture and urban design
projects. The Planting Design Handbook is distinctive for its
elegant integration of an ecological approach with an understanding
of visual and spatial composition. It emphasizes the role of
vegetation layers and designed plant communities in complex and
diverse plant assemblages for all kinds of sites and uses. This
expanded and comprehensively updated third edition still provides a
complete examination of principles and practice of design for
public, institutional and private landscapes. It takes account of
developments in theory and practice, especially in the use of
perennials, and reflects a variety of media and approaches current
in landscape architecture and design. All chapters have been
revised and re-written to ensure updated references and new
references have been added. Many new photographs of planting and
projects around the world have been included, with examples of
current professional drawings to illustrate the design process. It
is generously illustrated, including a colour section and the
beautifully detailed line drawings of the Chinese architect and
painter Jia-Hua Wu.
