Skrevet af WATERMAN

From
climate change to sustainable communities, landscape architecture is at
the forefront of today's most crucial issues and this book provides an
introduction to the key elements of this broad field.

The Fundamentals of Landscape Architecture explains the process of designing for sites, calling upon historical
precedent and evolving philosophies to discuss how a project moves from
concept to realization. It serves as a guide to the many specializations
within landscape architecture, such as landscape strategy and urban
design.

The second edition features new international and
US-based case studies including a study of Peter Schaudt of Hoerr
Schaudt Landscape Architects based in Chicago, US, which features the
Historic Landscape Preservation Plan, at The University of North
Carolina, Chapel Hill. The work of Dr Kongjian Yu of Turenscape is
explored and features Houtan Park, Shanghai, China and Greg Grabasch's
project Januburu Six Seasons, Broome, Western Australia is discussed.
Examined in depth is the work of Ten Eyck Landscape Architects at The
Arizona State University Polytechnic Campus, US.

For the second
edition the author, Tim Waterman, has interviewed the following leading
landscape architects: Phil Askew of the London Legacy Development
Corporation, UK, discusses the continuing legacy of the Olympics in
London. The work of New York-based Thomas Balsley is explored through
his project at Hunter's Point South Waterfront Park, New York, USA. The
ethos of Raymond Jungles is examined with reference to his project at
1111 Lincoln Road, Miami, Florida, USA. And the role of the landscape
architect is discussed with Thierry Kandjee of Taktyk in Brussels,
Belgium. These interviews and case studies should inspire landscape
architect students the world over to create innovative and creative
designs.
