Landscape

Five books every new landscape student should have

• Representing Landscapes, Nadia Amoroso
• Landscape: Pattern, Perception and Process 2nd edition, Simon Bell
• Form and Fabric, Catherine Dee
• Meaning in Landscape Architecture and Gardens, Marc Treib
• Exploring the Boundaries of Landscape Architecture, Simon Bell, Ingrid Herlin, Richard Stiles

 

To Design Landscape sets out a distinctively practical philosophy of design, in accessible format. Based on the notion that landscape design is a form-based craft addressing environmental processes and utility, Dee establishes a framework for approaching such craft with modesty and ingenuity, using the concept of "esthetics of thrift".
