Product Description
Product Description
The one-stop handbook on landscape architecture in a revised edition "Constructing Landscape" is a systematic introduction to technical and constructional open space planning, with all the relevant topics, from the most common materials and surfaces to the construction of open space elements and the use of plants. For landscape architects and architects it is an indispensable guide to correct and professional execution planning as well as to preparing solid and well-thought-out requests for proposal. "Constructing Landscape" is divided into two sections, Materials and Surfaces, and Building Construction and Building Elements. The first section provides an overview of the various building materials of landscape architecture and their specific characteristics. It also explains the qualities of surfaces and the different approaches to treating them. The second section begins with an introductory chapter explaining the principles of statics, the connections of load-bearing elements, and the various approaches to anchoring building components and supporting structures. The subsequent chapters use drawings and text to present the constructional principles and techniques associated with the various building elements. Each chapter concludes with a collection of sample projects, illustrated with photographs and technical drawings.

This book has become a cornerstone in my practice where it is consulted on a daily basis.
All you need to know about any material, from concrete to soil, components for the construction of anything from a wall to a water feature and the essential information to enable you to create your own details for construction as well as superb examples from actual projects to fire the imagination. The wealth of information in it is awesome and you won't regret the expense of buying it.
