Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
Too often introductory courses take for granted that the beginning student of horticulture is already familiar with the tools and drafting techniques associated with the discipline; not so with Plan Graphics for the Landscape Designer. Operating with the assumption that introductory classes must start with the basics, the author meticulously provides an inclusive guide through both the design and drawing phases of landscape design.
Plan Graphics for the Landscape Designer provides an excellent introduction to landscape design, employing a balanced approach that integrates both the technical and artistic aspects of plan drawing and graphics. Also included are sections on the use of drafting tools, how to professionally letter a plan, and the role of digital cameras and design software. A comprehensive section on computer graphics rounds out this exemplary introductory text. Other key features include:
- A pragmatic, step-by-step approach to creating a highly effective drawing, with the correct use of textures, symbols, and letters
- An extensive assortment of user drawing and rendering techniques, aimed at teaching effective line drawing to create accurate and attractive documents
- Instructions on how to draw section elevations to illustrate vertical elements of the design
- A wide assortment of photographs to accompany the many line drawings

This review is from: Plan Graphics for the Landscape Designer with Section-Elevation and Computer Graphics (Paperback)
I am a landscape architecture student and was unhappy with the books suggested by the teachers, so I decided to try this book and I am very glad that I did. It explains everthing from site plans to coloring your design in easly understandable terms. It basically combined all of the elements of my classes into one book, so that I have a reference to take me from the beginning of a design to its completion.

This review is from: Plan Graphics for the Landscape Designer with Section-Elevation and Computer Graphics (Paperback)
This book is great. I am a junior landscape architecture major, and my introductory classes skipped over the important basic details. Even though I've caught onto the basic skills over time, this book is a great reference and I'm still finding new things. This book is very easy to follow and a has a few pages of colored pages so that you can see his marker and colored pencil examples. I would most definitely recommend this book!!

As a beginning landscape design student I find the graphic examples really terrific and helpful. Both plan view and section elevation drawings provided great samples for practice and later use in class projects.
