OPENING SPACES - HANS LOIDL STEFAN BERNARD GEBU...

?What does the landscape architect actually do as a design?? The authors investigate this
seemingly simple question. What resources are available for designing open spaces? What part is
played by conditions deriving from nature? How are locations and spaces created in the open air
how are paths routed and boundaries set  how are hard and soft materials used? Drawing on
practical and theoretical experience  this introduction  often used as a textbook  reveals the
central components of design and the intellectual paths followed in the design process. ?The
book is not so much for reading but for doing. It plays with shapes  imagining how people feel
in these shapes and seeing how shapes create a different experience of landscape. Vegetation
can make the relief of a hill clearer  less clear  indistinct or hidden. The authors show this
by sketches illustrating the text ... As an example of the way Loidl and Bernard set their
readers thinking for themselves  I quote what they regard as good design: 'The paradox of a
good design solution: more uniformity needs more variety.'Food for thought. Or read Open(ing)
Spaces.? (Martin Woestenburg in 'scape  2006)
