Constructing Landscape is a
systematic introduction to technical and constructional open space
planning, with all the relevant topics, from the most common materials
and surfaces to the construction of open space elements and the use of
plants. For landscape architects and architects it is an indispensable
guide to correct and professional execution planning as well as to
preparing solid and well-thought-out requests for proposal. Constructing Landscape
is divided into two sections, Materials and Surfaces and Building
Construction and Building Elements. The first section provides an

their specific characteristics. It also explains the qualities of
surfaces and the different approaches to treating them. The second
section begins with an introductory chapter explaining the principles of
statics, the connections of load-bearing elements, and the various
approaches to anchoring building compo-nents and supporting structures.
The subsequent chapters use drawings and text to present the
constructional principles and techniques associated with the various
building elements. Each chapter concludes with a collection of sample
projects, illustrated with photographs and technical drawings.
An unrivaled handbook to all aspects of landscape architecture, from materials to construction techniques
