ReviewsVisual Communication for Landscape Architecture is a rich and inspirational resource for both budding - and practising - landscape architects. With case study contributions from Kathryn Gustafson, Grant Associates, Peter Walker, BCA Landscape and many more... Well done to all those involved - we have picked up a few nice tips already!, Visual Communication for Landscape Architecture looks fantastic - I am very proud to be part of it! Bang on trend, current yet nodding to a bit of the Repton and Halprin. It's very cool and accessible - I also find the size very pleasing! The authors should be very happy with the end result - so much work obviously went into its creation. I am soon to give a presentation and the book will definitely be one of my props., This handsome book does a superb job of explaining why we use visual communication - a task which no other book on representation for landscape architecture has yet accomplished. Many gorgeous illustrations from a wide range of sources add richness and depth to this indispensable text., 'Well crafted and beautifully constructed, the authors have framed the book to adhere to the design sequence, detailing contemporary strategies and technologies for visualizing designed spaces. An excellent addition to any aspiring landscape architect's library.' Ken Yocom Assistant Professor, Landscape Architecture Graduate Program Coordinator, University of Washington 'This handsome book does a superb job of explaining why we use visual communication - a task which no other book on representation for landscape architecture has yet been able to accomplish. It shows how drawing and making are embedded in the design process as tools for observation, analysis, creation, and presentation. Many gorgeous illustrations from a wide range of sources and from the authors' own teaching and practice add richness and depth of experience to this indispensable text.' Tim Waterman, Senior Lecturer in Landscape Architecture, Writtle School of Design, Visual Communication for Landscape Architecture looks great. I am going to put it on the 'books for the office' list and think it would be really useful to bridge the gap between our landscape architects and our technicians, which is always a challenging part of a multi-disciplinary practice., A rather excellent book arrived at our office today, which we have all thoroughly enjoyed looking at! Visual Communication for Landscape Architecture looks incredible, and a great resource for us in practice, let alone students. We are grateful to the authors for including some of our work., Visual Communication for Landscape Architecture is a rich and inspirational resource for both budding - and practising - landscape architects. With case study contributions from Kathryn Gustafson, Grant Associates, Peter Walker, BCA Landscape and many more. Well done to all those involved - we have picked up a few nice tips already!, Well crafted and beautifully constructed, the authors have framed the book to adhere to the design sequence, detailing contemporary strategies and technologies for visualizing designed spaces.

SynopsisVisual Communication for Landscape Architecture demonstrates not only how and where a range of visual communication skills are needed to inform a design process, but also why they are essential in order to make presentations both informative and memorable. It illustrates how representational techniques can be sensitively applied in different contexts appropriate to a diverse range of design challenges, and encourages experimentation with contemporary techniques, both 2D and 3D. Developing a professional but creative design portfolio is explored in relation to creating e-portfolios and websites. A total of 12 contemporary case studies enable readers to contextualize the methods and techniques explored in each chapter through exploring real-life examples of winning projects by successful landscape architecture practices, making this title an inspirational resource for both budding - and practising - landscape architects.
