Full Description
The last quarter of the 20th century witnessed a burgeoning interest in the ecological or naturally inspired use of vegetation in the designed landscape. This has since developed into a strong design aesthetic in the field of landscape architecture. Building on the hugely successful first edition, Dunnett and Hitchmough bring this volume up to date with fully revised chapters, new additions and enhanced visual features. Organised into clearly structured sections, presenting an overview of the building blocks and the process for design, The Dynamic Landscape advances a fusion of scientific and ecological planning design philosophy that addresses the need for more sustainable designed landscapes. The first edition presented a major statement on the design, implementation and management of ecologically inspired landscape vegetation. With contributions from individuals at the forefront of developments in the field, in both Europe and North America, this second edition provides an important synthesis of current thinking and high-quality imagery to illustrate and support the text. This book will be an invaluable addition to any professional landscape designer's library.
