Great book to learn how to integrate design elements
Very impressed with how the author demonstrates how you can take an element, whether it is a sea shell or fern frond, and how you can actually integrate it in a landscape design. Being a student in Landscape Architecture, I find it very useful in design projects.

Very Disappointing
This book is going back a lot faster than it got here! Deals almost exclusively with very modern landscapes that you would see in the southern part of the country. The designs tended to be very geometric, rigid and unnatural. If you prefer a more classic, free flowing landscape design, then this book is not for you.

Helps you get out of a rut,

This review is from: From Concept to Form: In Landscape Design (Paperback)
I found this book to be great for when you have designer's block. This book is filled to the rim with illustrated examples and makes a great quick reference. The best thing about it is it doesn't cost an arm and a leg like most design books.

Excellent Design Segue From Concept to Form,
By
This review is from: From Concept to Form in Landscape Design (Paperback)
I have found this book extremely helpful as a basis/rough outline to help guide the development process in forming patterns/shapes of spaces from the concept planning stage; especially, if your normal design process is similar to the following (which Perry Howard, FASLA, has instructed me): Program Analysis, Site Analysis, Concept Plan, Illustrative Site Plan, Site Sections.

Not much in terms of inspiration or practical guidance,
By
This review is from: From Concept to Form in Landscape Design (Paperback)
I purchased this book to consider options and look for inspiration and practical guidance for my 5 acre property in Australia. I found the book heavy on the philosophical aspects of design and more bent towards urban design. Not my cup of tea I'm afraid.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: From Concept to Form: In Landscape Design (Paperback)
The cover is very misleading. It is being returned within 20 minutes of opening the package.
