Landscape Architecture


It is the time of the year when we all focus on the garden. And what better tool to help than Robert Mallet’s book Envisioning the Garden from W.W. Norton & Company? In it the gardener/designer shows how the “basic elements of design—line, scale, distance, shape, color, and other sensory associations”—can either broaden or constrict our design sensibility. Included are a range of practical ideas to visually enlarge your space—demonstrated through beautiful photography and drawings by architect Yves Poinsot.

Also from W. W. Norton & Company, Walls: Elements of Garden and Landscape Architecture by Gunter Mader and Elke Zimmerman, which is a guideline for designers, etc. on how to utilize the rich design potential one of the biggest fundamental design elements of the garden and landscape...the wall.
