Landscape architects rely heavily on graphics to communicate content and ideas. From
large-scale master plans and strategic visions to design concepts and specific moods through
to types of vegetation and precise construction details - at some point everything has to be
explained on paper. This handbook focuses on areas which even in the age of digital media
are still staples of the profession: drawing graphics and projections. Both instructional and
inspirational it covers the basics of landscape architectural representation in an
easy-to-understand way encouraging readers to draw their ideas and develop their own graphic
language and style. Showcased in these pages are many examples from landscape architecture
offices worldwide offering practical guidance and ideas in key thematic areas: > Introduction
to drawing tools applications and effects > Symbols in different scales styles and
abstraction levels > Basic principles for layout and lettering > Fundamentals of orthographic
and parallel projections > Drawing in contemporary landscape-architectural practice
