Drawing for Landscape Architecture: Sketch to Screen to Site
Product ID: 153542508
This essential publication reintroduces the importance of learning to ‘see by hand’, to visualize large-scale design schemes and explain them through drawing, before using the digital tools that are so crucial to efficient and cost-effective building solutions. Combining traditional drawing techniques with those from CAD rendering, Drawing for Landscape Architecture guides practitioners from their very first impression of a site, through concept and schematic design and client presentation to construction and site drawings, concluding with two case studies that show the final result. Just as hand-drawing returns to design courses around the world, this welcome publication celebrates the best aspects of traditional techniques while incorporating them into today’s digital design methods. Review: All good - All good Review: Five Stars - Another great book from Edward Hutchison. Gives lots of inspiration and information.

Inspiring and informative
Considering the current shift back to hand drawing, this book is riding the wave. The author is a competent artist and his approach to landscape design from site analysis to detail specification is interesting and inspiring. As someone who has been from the drawing board to the screen and back again, it's refreshing to see that once again these techniques are being recognised as a human and direct way of communicating ideas rather than an out dated way of working. The application of hand drawn images with digital ones is potentially very exciting and it is this message which the book conveys most strongly to me.

Beautiful and inspirational introduction to landscape design
A beautiful and inspirational book showing how drawing can be a source of creativity and a means of effective communication. This is a vital read for students of landscape architecture and a reminder to practitioners that landscape design can be more than Autocad drawings and Photoshop collage.

ITEM NOT NEW
I bought this as a gift thinking it was a new copy. The item arrived bent, yellowed and had a hand written sticker stuck to the front cover.

Um workflow para entender a paisagem
O livro é recheado de exemplos que contam a história do projeto de paisagem, desde a visita ao terreno e seu entendimento através de desenhos e anotações sobre vários partidos projetuais possíveis até os exemplos mais rebuscados e variados no decorrer do livro. Instigante e lindo!
