Foundations of landscape architecture : Integrating form and space using the language of site design
Illustrates the importance of spatial language. It introduces concepts, typologies, and rudimentary principles of form and space. Including designs for projects such as parks, campuses, and memorials, this text provides the core concepts necessary for designers to shape functional landscapes. Additionally, chapters discuss organizational and spatial design structures based on orthogonal forms, angular forms, and circular forms.
Finding Lost Space : Theories of Urban Design
Offers a comprehensive and systematic examination of the crisis of the contemporary city and the means by which this crisis can be addressed. Finding Lost Space traces leading urban spatial design theories that have emerged over the past eighty years: the principles of Sitte and Howard; the impact of and reactions to the Functionalist movement; and designs developed by Team 10, Robert Venturi, the Krier brothers, and Fumihiko Maki, to name a few. In addition to discussions of historic precedents, contemporary approaches to urban spatial design are explored.
Ecologies design : Transforming architecture, landscape, and urbanism
Ecologies Design challenges professionals and academics to expand the concept of applying and understanding ecologies, both biological and social, in multi-disciplinary spatial design contexts. This book will be of great interest to academics and professionals within ecology and design.
