This essential publication reintroduces the importance of
learning to see by hand, to visualize large-scale design schemes
and explain them through drawing, before using the digital tools
that are so crucial to efficient and cost-effective building
solutions. Combining traditional drawing techniques with those from
CAD rendering, in nine chapters, "Drawing for Landscape
Architecture" guides practitioners from their very first impression
of a site, through concept and schematic design and client
presentation to construction and site drawings, concluding with two
case studies that show the final result. Just as hand-drawing
returns to design courses around the world, this welcome
publication celebrates the best aspects of traditional techniques
while incorporating them into today''s digital design methods.
