DRAWING FOR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS 2 CONSTRUCTION...

In recent years  perspective views have swept into the foreground in the field of landscape
architecture. They have become the showpiece of any new design project  frequently
overshadowing the plan as the principal graphic mediator of ideas. Perspectives communicate
planned spaces unlike any other orthographic architectural projections  easily connecting with
human modes of vision and perception. Yet we have become so accustomed to seeing them that we
no longer examine their underlying messages.This manual examines the history of these
multifaceted images and their power to shape our expectations and thinking. Moving
chronologically from the Renaissance to the present day  the book charts their evolution and
dissects the motives behind their construction. It also provides clear practical guidance on
how to compose persuasive images for diverse audiences.Presented in this book are numerous
historical and contemporary examples  underscoring the perspective's continuing importance in
professional practice.Key thematic areas include:> Introduction to terminology: Basics and
principles> Constructing and composing perspectives> Transmitting messages: The landscape as a
medium for ideas> Enduring themes of beauty  the sublime  and awe> The future of perspective
