The new industry standard on landscape architecturaldetailing
Detailing for Landscape Architects takes the reader on aneducational journey across three major areas of landscapearchitectural detailing—aesthetics, function, andconstructibility—to demonstrate how powerful design patterns cantransform thematic ideas into awe-inspiring built realities. Richlyillustrated examples accompany concise discussions of a variedblend of landscape design/detailing issues such as water movement,soil environments, articulating structures and constructionassemblies, life cycle costing, sustainability, health and safety,and more. This book approaches the subject of detailing in asystematic manner, and provides a balanced framework for design andworkmanship that conveys the essence of the built landscape.

The new industry standard on landscape architectural
detailing 
Detailing for Landscape Architects takes the reader on an
educational journey across three major areas of landscape
architectural detailing—aesthetics, function, and
constructibility—to demonstrate how powerful design patterns can
transform thematic ideas into awe-inspiring built realities. Richly
illustrated examples accompany concise discussions of a varied
blend of landscape design/detailing issues such as water movement,
soil environments, articulating structures and construction
assemblies, life cycle costing, sustainability, health and safety,
and more. This book approaches the subject of detailing in a
systematic manner, and provides a balanced framework for design and
workmanship that conveys the essence of the built landscape.
Detailing for Landscape Architects shows how details can:
 
Reinforce design ideas through the continuity and discontinuity of
patterns 
Actively contribute to the overall form or geometry of the
design 
Be designed to be durable and flexible while enhancing the entire
design 
Gracefully accommodate the natural growth and change of plant
materials 
Anticipate maintenance needs to minimize future disruptions 
Maximize their cost effectiveness through understanding their
function while designing to meet those functions 
Including chapters that apply detail patterns to the design of an
urban plaza, a roof deck, and a residence, Detailing for Landscape
Architects offers guidance on solving specific technical
requirements, while preserving and enhancing the visual qualities
that celebrate innovation, and carry forth a timeless quality of
building.

媒体评论

"This eminently readable, profusely illustrated book is obviously designed as a professional reference, but its effect is more like consulting with a passionate expert than merely receiving a listing of standard recommendations. This pattern-based approach, in lieu of a mechanical categorization based on materials (wood, metal, stone) or application (paving, walls, canopies), focuses on conveying general principles, as well as specific details, across a range of conditions, which is impressive. This emphasis on aesthetics - and not just visual, but aesthetics that appreciate elegance, simplicity, and timeless details - permeates the book, and is part of what lifts it above other catalogs of technique." ( Landscape Architecture Magazine , Oct 2011)
