Landscape Graphics: Plan, Section, and Perspective Drawing of Landscape Spaces

This seems like the perfect book for growing landscapes of glaciers and mountainous areas. I will be using the drawings and art as figures and talks and three books. I’m working on.

This book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in understanding the fundamentals of landscape design. It clearly explains how to read and create plan, section, and perspective drawings, making it a valuable tool for both beginners and those refining their skills. The visuals and step‑by‑step breakdowns help you see gardens and outdoor spaces from multiple viewpoints. A great addition to any design library and a reliable reference for improving your understanding of landscape concepts.

This book has been so useful to me in my past year at school, I would never sell it back. The author takes you through the different kinds of drawings landscape architects and planners make, shows you how to draw elements of them not only quickly, but from different angles, and gives tips on how to improve the clarity of your drawings. I've personally practiced drawing trees by tracing the author's trees from this book. It's a wonderful resource. Even though it wasn't a required book by the teacher who recommended it to me, it has probably been one of the most useful books I've purchased relating to landscape graphics.

I purchased this book for one of my landscape architecture courses in college. It was a massive help in rendering my graphics and designs, as well as coming up with new designs. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is considering the landscape architecture field, or just enjoys sketching and drawing nature!

I've been taking some course work that requires doing landscape designs. This book has been very useful in developing a starting point to developing my own style of landscape graphics to use in my design work. The step by steps are clear enough to allow you to recreate similar style graphics, but not broken down to each line which saves space. :) I have not had an opportunity to compare this to the more recent edition, but based on the graphics I'm seeing in design samples offered by instructors, not much has changed other than you might be using a digital medium instead of a drafting board.

I purchased this book as required per my Landscape Architecture graphics class at Ohio State University and 5 years out of college and I see refer to this book when I need help with my graphics or to use a new technique. Landscape Graphics gives you a step by step process on how to create trees, perspectives, ect; in addition to pages of graphic samples of people, ground covers, trees, shrubs, plan views, sections, lettering, and vehicles. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who sketches, or creates graphics in the architectural/landscape architectural field.

My son is a landscape architecture student and says this is a good book!

I haven't had time to study this book yet but it appears to be just what I wanted. Drawing plans is crucial to any landscape design and using the correct symbols for what you want planted and where you want it planted is most important to any design. Any landscaper who can't read and understand a landscape design plan needs to buy this book and learn the symbols. An excellent teaching or learning tool for anyone associated with the landscaping profession. Pete McGill, Bonita Springs,Florida

Esse livro possui fundamentos de desenho para arquitetura e paisagismo. Mesmo possuindo conhecimentos avançados nessa área pude aprender técnicas e exercícios de desenhos. Valeu cada centavo!

Ich habe mir das Buch zum Studien Start gekauft, da ich sehr viel händisch zeichne und Anregungen brauchte, zur zeichnerischen Umsetzung bzw. Darstellung von Baum Symbolen, Bäumen und anderen Konstruktionen bis hin zu Autos und Menschen. Ich konnte bei Aufgaben wir z.B. Planerstellung, Planbeschriftung aber auch bei Konzeptskizzen sehr viel aus dem Buch lernen. Wer hier jedoch einen Nachdruck der Originalausgabe sucht, sollte die ein oder andere Änderung/ Abweichung zum Original in Kauf nehmen. Alle notwendigen und wichtigen Themen werden hier jedoch behandelt. Für mich war und ist dieses Buch sehr hilfreich UND es ist im Gegensatz zu anderen einschlägigen Fachbüchern durchaus auch für Studenten mit schmalen Budget realisierbar. Einzig allein das Format des Buches ist gewöhnungsbedürftig...

Llegó en buen estado, explica muy bien y tiene gráficos muy eficientes.

I have used this book when I was doing architecture back from 1990 to 1996. And now when my daughter has entered the field, this is the first book I thought of gifting her for hand drawn graphics and lettering. A beautifully rendered book. An all time favourite and should sustain for generations to come.
