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

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.

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 liked this book. Even before I went to school for Landscape design, I had bought this book and learned things that put me ahead of the class. I would recommend it, the price is right, and it really has invaluable information and tips in here. It is an "educational" book, I learned from some of the techniques here, and think it is a great starting point for anyone who wants to get going in the business. This is, of course, assuming you will be hand drafting.

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.

Great guide and reference in preparing materials to introduce technical drawing to landscape architecture students. Content is organized well and there are plenty of samples shown to illustrate the topic. Print copy is small enough while the kindle copy makes it easy for me to check something from the book across devices.

Great for non-artists to try a new technique without having to learn more traditional drawing skills. Some information on perspective available, but several samples of arial plans that can get anyone started. Note that this is not a tutorial on landscape design, best options for planting, trouble spots, etc. It concentrates on just drawing your landscape ideas to represent for clients or even to hand off to your landscaper / lawn person helping with planting.

Used to buy all my college books second hand, had to save every single penny to make rent and pay for school. The Book is in great shape and I LOVE it!

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.
