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 designdetailing 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.
