Aimed at prospective and new students, this book gives a
comprehensive introduction to the nature and practice of landscape
architecture, the professional skills required and the latest
developments. After discussing the history of the profession, the
book explains the design process through principles such as
hierarchy, human scale, unity, harmony, asymmetry, colour, form and
texture. It looks at how design is represented through both drawing
and modelling, and through digital techniques such as CAD and the
use of GIS (Geographic Information Systems). This is followed by an
examination of project management and landscape management
techniques. Finally, the book explores educational and employment
opportunities and the future of the profession in the context of
climate change and sustainability. Illustrated with international
examples of completed projects, Landscape Architecture provides an
invaluable, one-stop resource for anyone considering studying or a
career in this field.
