How to tackle representation in landscape design Representation is a
hot topic in landscape architecture. While computerization has been a
catalyst for change across many fields in design, no other design field
has experienced such drastic reinvention as has landscape architecture.
As the world urbanizes rapidly and our relationship with nature changes,
it is vitally important that landscape designers adopt innovative forms
of representation--whether digital, analog, or hybrid. In this book,
author Diana Balmori explores notions of representation in the
discipline at large and across time. She takes readers from landscape
design's roots in seventeenth-century France and eighteenth-century
England through to modern attempts at representation made by
contemporary landscape artists. Addresses a central topic in the
discipline of landscape architecture Features historic works and those
by leading contemporary practitioners, such as Bernard Lassus, Richard
Haag, Stig L Andersson, Lawrence Halprin, and Patricia Johanson Written
by a renowned practitioner and educator Features 150 full-color images
Drawing and Reinventing Landscape, AD Primer is an informative
investigation of beauty in landscape design, offering inspiring creative
perspectives for students and professionals.
