The art of designing both unites and divides landscape architecture and architecture. Despite having a long tradition, landscape architecture has lacked a concise presentation of the fundamental principles underlying its design and planning concepts. This much sought-after book has evolved out of more than twenty years of teaching experience. The authors distinguish between the variable factors such as climate, growth of vegetation etc. , and the more abstract element of design. They describe the ideal design components and demonstrate the extent to which natural features such as surfaces, spaces, paths, borders, hard and soft materials shape the designs. This book reveals how concepts such as order and chaos, way and goal, intention and reaction form the basis for landscape design, just as they do in architecture. Hans Loidl has been Professor for Landscape Architecture in Berlin since 1982 and has headed his own atelier since 1984. Stefan Bernard works as a landscape architect and graphic designer.

Seller's Description:
Very good. The art of designing both unites and divides landscape architecture and architecture. Despite having a long tradition, landscape architecture has lacked a concise presentation of the fundamental principles underlying its design and planning concepts. This much sought-after book has evolved out of more than twenty years of teaching experience. The authors distinguish between the variable factors such as climate, growth of vegetation etc., and the more abstract element of design. They describe the ideal design components and demonstrate the extent to which natural features such as surfaces, spaces, paths, borders, hard and soft materials shape the designs. This book reveals how concepts such as order and chaos, way and goal, intention and reaction form the basis for landscape design, just as they do in architecture. Hans Loidl has been Professor for Landscape Architecture in Berlin since 1982 and has headed his own atelier since 1984. Stefan Bernard works as a landscape architect and graphic designer. Die zentrale Rolle des Entwurfs eint und trennt Landschaftsarchitektur und Architektur. Trotz ihrer großen Tradition verfügt Landschaftsarchitektur bislang nicht über ein Instrumentarium, um die Grundlagen des Entwerfens transparent darzustellen. "Und so lange wir nicht (einigermaßen) verstehen, was wir einander sagen wollen, ist es ein müßiges Spiel, miteinander über Entwürfe zu reden." (aus der Einleitung) Auf der Grundlage von mehr als zwei Jahrzehnten Lehrerfahrung entstand dieses wegweisende Buch. Es macht deutlich, dass Landschaftsarchitektur wie Architektur von Dimensionen wie Ordnung und Chaos, Weg und Ziel, Intention und Reaktion bestimmt wird und in welchem Maß die im Freiraum möglichen Flächen-und Raumformen, Wegführungen und Grenzsetzungen, harten und weichen Materialien den landschaftsarchitektonischen Entwurf prägen. Hans Loidl ist seit 1982 Professor für Landschaftsarchitektur in Berlin und führt sein eigenes Atelier. Stefan Bernard ist als Landschaftsarchitekt und Graphiker tätig. Landschaftsarchitektur Architektur Entwerfen Flächenformen Raumformen Wegführungen Grenzsetzungen Materialien Architekturentwurf Landschaftsplanung landschaftsarchitektonischer Entwurf.
