The Fundamentals of Landscape Architecture provides an introduction to the key elements of this broad field. From climate change to sustainable communities, landscape architecture is at the forefront of today's most crucial issues. It serves as a guide to the many specialisations complimentary to landscape architecture, such as landscape management and planning, and urban design. This book explains the process of designing for sites, including historical precedent, evolving philosophies, and how a project moves from concept to design to realisation.

I would strongly recommend this book if you are interested in studying or starting a career in Landscape Architecture
26 July 2010
Format:Paperback
The book begins with an easy-to-follow yet informative overview of landscape history accompanied by some beautiful imagery of prominent projects.
The following chapters guide the reader through the various stages of the design process right from the initial site investigation to ideas for final representation. The book includes work from several influential designers, past and present, as well as a really useful directory of contacts and resources, at the back of the book.
In my opinion, one of the key successes of this book is that it clearly informs the reader of the huge range of roles and subject areas that exist within landscape architecture, such as landscape management and conservation, design for public spaces within cities as well as the role that Landscape Architects will play in relation to climate change and sustainability.

Format:Paperback
A good introduction to the topic, with a broad range of areas covered. A clear and simple layout for easy reading and referencing, like the title says, this is the fundamentals, so its not massively detailed, but it can be used to remind yourself of multiple points of thought for any landscape project. Id recommend!
Format:Paperback
I would definitely recommend this book, it gives clear, simple and accurate overview on the discipline of Landscape Architecture. It is absolutely useful for students during all their career.
