A visual journey through the history of landscape design
For thousands of years, people have altered the meaning of space by reshaping nature. As an art form, these architectural landscape creations are stamped with societal imprints unique to their environment and place in time.
Illustrated History of Landscape Design takes an optical sweep of the iconic landscapes constructed throughout the ages. Organized by century and geographic region, this highly visual reference uses hundreds of masterful pen-and-ink drawings to show how historical context and cultural connections can illuminate today's design possibilities.
This guide includes:
Storyboards, case studies, and visual narratives to portray spaces
Plan, section, and elevation drawings of key spaces
Summaries of design concepts, principles, and vocabularies
Historic and contemporary works of art that illuminate a specific era
Descriptions of how the landscape has been shaped over time in response to human need
Directing both students and practitioners along a visually stimulating timeline, Illustrated History of Landscape Design is a valuable educational tool as well as an endless source ofinspiration.

CHOICE Review
The authors, both University of California professors of landscape architecture, have created a visual treat sure to inspire and captivate any student of landscape design. Beautiful, abundant, precise drawings in concert with a more limited yet engaging text make this book unique. In a visual discipline such as landscape design, such a novel approach is long overdue. Organized by century, the chapters each include a chronology that highlights political, scientific, and artistic innovations of a particular time period, placing landscape design in its historical context. Storyboards, case studies, and visual narratives highlight significant examples from around the world and across time. Chapters end with a visual representation of design principles, followed by a list of books, films, and artworks (both historical and contemporary) to enliven each specific era. Because the breadth of the topic is huge, the authors wisely have focused on only a few countries and significant cultural landscape forms during each time period. This impressive work could serve as an outstanding textbook for landscape design students or as a useful reference resource for libraries. This significant, delightful, one-of-a-kind work is sure to become a classic. Summing Up: Essential. Lower- and upper-level undergraduates, graduate students, two-year technical program students, and general readers. L. F. Lister Colorado CollegeNotas de autor provistas por Syndetics
