For a hundred years, pencil, pen, markers, and watercolor have
been the principal tools of representation for landscape architects
and urban planners. Today, those hand-powered aids have been
replaced by computers and Computer-aided designCAD. Digital
Drawing for Landscape Architects bridges the gap between the
traditional analog and the new digital tools and shows you how to
apply timeless concepts of representation to enhance your design
work in digital media.
Building on the tried-and-true principles of analog representation,
Digital Drawing for Landscape Architectureexplores specific
techniques for creating landscape design digitally. It explains the
similarities and differences between analog and digital rendering,
and then walks you through the steps of creating digitally rendered
plans, perspectives, and diagrams. You’ll explore:
Computing Basics
Raster and vector images
Setting up the document
Base imagery and scaling
Hand-drawn linework and diagrams
Text, leaders, and page layout
Color, shading, and textures
Creating a section elevation
Perspective drawing
Techniques for using the newest versions of Adobe Illustrator,
Photoshop, and Acrobat as well as older versions
With more than 500 full-color drawings and photographs alongside
proven techniques, Digital Drawing for Landscape Architects will
help you enhance your skills though a unique marriage of
contemporary methods with traditional rendering techniques.
