To Design Landscape (eBook, PDF)

Art, Nature & Utility

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

To Design Landscape is about aesthetic practice in contemporary landscape design. It offers both practical lessons and a cultural philosophy of landscape design at a time of ecological necessity. In it, Catherine Dee combines theory with a striking visual format, drawing on her experiences as an inspirational landscape architecture lecturer and her talents as an artist. Based on the notion that landscape design is a form-based craft addressing environmental processes and utility, Dee establishes a framework for approaching such craft with modesty and ingenuity, using the concept of "aesthetics of thrift". A must for all landscape architecture students.
