Aimed at prospective and new students, this book gives a comprehensive
introduction to the nature and practise 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, color, form, and texture. It looks at how design is
represented through both drawing and modeling, 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.
