Landscape Interpretations

This book and accompanying CD-ROM of some of the greatest accomplishments in the development of landscape architecture in Western Europe will be a welcome addition to any landscape designer's library. These two resources combine discussions of essential ideas about remarkable gardens, parks and piazzas with a collection of captioned photos arranged as tours through the settings. This, along with the presentation of several garden examples for each period, enables the designer to easily visualize the development of these historic landscape creations and apply those design principles to contemporary design.
