Landscape Graphics: Plan, Section, and Perspective Drawing of Landscape Spaces Paperback – September 1, 2002

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.

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.

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.

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!

Exactly as stated

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!

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

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