Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While benefiting from the efficient and convenient urban life brought by the highly urbanized society, people are suffering from traffic congestion, energy shortage, and air and water pollution. In metropolises, these problems might aggravate city residents' mental stress, which has aroused a general concern on physical and psychological health. In this issue, we hope to improve urban spatial structure and enhance the quality of urban infrastructure, architecture, and landscape through research and design to form a slower-paced lifestyle, celebrate cultural identity, and create a more livable city environment that enjoys a smart use of space, a resource-saving development, a harmony between man and nature, and, a running efficiency of cities in which people feel pleasant and comfortable.

Download or read book Re envisioning Landscape architecture written by Catherine Spellman and published by Actarbirkhauser. This book was released on 2003 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Re-envisioning Landscape/Architecture suggests that the relationship between landscape and architecture might be imagined over and over again, in such a way that each is defined less as a quantifiable object and more as an idea, a way of seeing, act of making, and way of engaging culture and society. The essays collected here offer many interpretations and possibilities for this relationship, with the common assumption that it should be considered at every negotiation between realms of thought, and whenever culture and place are to be incorporated with understanding and meaning. The collection is based in a belief that the landscape/architecture relationship is at the center of all inspired design, therefore, in one way or another each essay addresses how this relationship is created, nurtured, and maintained to ensure the making of integrated design work.
Download or read book From Concept to Form written by Grant W. Reid and published by Wiley. This book was released on 1993-06-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Concept to Form in Landscape Design Grant W. Reid, ASLA One of the most difficult tasks for a designer is to translate concepts into specific and detailed organizations of space. From Concept to Form in Landscape Design provides vital, functional techniques that make the transformation easier and more effective. This perceptive resource examines both traditional and non-traditional methods of landscape design, providing the conceptual and philosophical foundations for ideas and their graphic expression. Reid utilizes both geometric and naturalistic approaches as form determinants. From Concept to Form in Landscape Design includes detailed photographs to assist in visualizing various techniques precise case studies showing sequential processes of form evolution inspiring images from nature for naturalistic form development atypical design examples as impetuses for innovation From Concept to Form in Landscape Design is presented in a highly visual manner, rendering the process of landscape transformation more accessible. Designers will find these images to be a viable toolbox of techniques with immediate and precise applications. Reid’s approach is replete with compelling, valuable, and accessible insights for both indoor and outdoor spaces, making this book ideal for landscape architects, architects, landscape designers, and students.
Download or read book The Small Place written by Elsa Rehmann and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A valuable collection of material has been gathered in this book for the benefit of the student or for the owner who is to understand the ideas of his landscape architect. An unusual feature is the uniform method of presentation used in all the plans, and the explanatory key plan indicating the kinds of line which represent grass, flowers, shrubs, trees, steps, and so on. Each landscape architect's plan has been redrawn in pen and ink to suitable scale by the same illustrator, Mr. B. Y. Morrison, so that exceptional intelligibility and a pleasing unity result. The photographs used (their viewpoints indicated by arrows on the plans) are also well chosen and well reproduced. Within the limits of the scope set, -the small estate, - a variety of problems is included, representing the work of the following landscape architects: H. A. Caparn, Elizabeth Bootes Clark, Marian C. Coffin, E. Gorton Davis, A. S. DeForest, C. N. Lowrie, Warren H. Manning, Olmsted Brothers, Pray, Hubbard and White, Prentice Sanger, Arthur A. Shurtleff, Sibley C. Smith, and Elizabeth Leonard Strang. The text sympathetically sets forth the ideas of the landscape designers, with comments, and touches general principles of estate design as these are brought out by the examples under discussion. Planting design is well emphasized, but not at the expense of the total effect. Some of the chapters, since revised, appeared as articles in House and Garden and The Garden Magazine. Miss Rehmann's interest in the "small place" was brought to the attention of readers of Landscape Architecture in the July number, when the results of her competition on that subject were announced. -"Landscape Architecture Magazine," Vol. 9 [1918]
Download or read book Open ing Spaces written by Hans Loidl and published by Birkhaüser. This book was released on 2022-11-15 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What does the landscape architect actually do as a designer?" The authors of this book investigate this question, which only seems easy - and address some fundamental ideas about design in landscape architecture: What resources are available for designing open spaces? What role do natural conditions play? What principles are applied? This book identifies and analyses the elements that come together to create landscape architecture. Based on their experience in practice and education, the authors reveal the core components of landscape design. In the introduction to the new edition, Stefan Bernard opens up about the book's origins and reflects on its continuing importance for the design of high-quality outdoor spaces.

Download or read book Landscape Architecture Frontiers 046 written by Kongjian Yu and published by Landscape Architecture Frontie. This book was released on 2021-01-10 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In its history of over a hundred of years, landscape architecture has developed many ideas, concepts, methods, and models. In this issue, LA Frontiers focuses on prototype studies by examining those traceable and repeatable landscape theories, methodologies, and pedagogies, and introducing the knowledge from allied disciplines to inspire knowledge innovation, with a particular highlight on the prototypes adaptive to future uncertainties. It hopes to extend the disciplinary horizon and enrich the fruition of disciplinary growth, and to provide designers and scholars with prospective design thoughts and more resilient working methods. This issue explores the following aspects: First, prototyping process, or test planning process, which is characterized for the test-planning-design process and has been widely applied in the fields of computer sciences and industrial design but still being less explored in landscape architecture. This process emphasizes the multi-disciplinary collaboration and test procedure before design, which would improve the communication efficiency among professionals from different fields. Second, reflection and innovation on classic theories and models in landscape planning and design, such as Ian McHarg's Map Overlay and Carl Steinitz's Six Steps model. Third, research-based design, including design research or competitions with clear goals and boundary conditions which help designers comprehend the essence and implications of design and encourage disciplinary innovation. And fourth, inductive and empirical pedagogies to inspire forward-looking design ideas and working methods.
