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.
