Книги по ландшафтному дизайну

Small yards often pose large problems for home gardeners. Adding too many plants and other elements leads to a crowded, chaotic look, but it is also easy to plan for too little, which can make even a small space seem sparse and under-planted.

Landscaping Solutions for Small Spaces provides detailed designs for common garden situations. Each design features both “hardscaping” and landscaping ideas, including detailed plans that show the number and types of plants for each design. Plant recommendations cover all hardiness zones. Some designs address problems with the site, such as a small front yard or a sloping yard; others deal with requirements imposed by the gardener, such as a garden that requires a minimal amount of maintenance or one that will be enjoyed mainly at night. In addition to the designs themselves, a building-techniques section helps turn the plans into reality.

- 10 custom designs for small gardens, each addressing a specific gardening problem
- Detailed planting schemes that make the most of gardening space
- Hardscaping solutions to hide ugly views, deal with sloping lots, create outdoor living areas, and more
- Plant recommendations for all regions of the country
- Planting and building techniques to help make the designs a reality

Abstraction and hedge, interaction and landmark, labyrinth and synthesis, pond and utopia — the reader is confronted with a tremendous variety of terms, from the description of the various elements of a garden all the way to theoretical, historical, symbolic, and iconographic aspects of landscape design. Meto J. Vroom, a former professor of landscape architecture at Universität Wageningen, defines and analyzes more than 250 terms, concepts, and objects. While the definitions convey the universally recognized meaning of the headwords, each essay briefly outlines a subject with a critical commentary and numerous commendations for further reading.

Thus the lexicon serves to clarify important terms and expressions that designers use on a daily basis. More than that, however, it also constitutes a general introduction to the major themes of landscape design.

Beautiful, eye-catching photography by Jan Verlinde link the past with the present in this stunning book. The noblest of building traditions are bonded with a modern wat of living, working and relaxing. Lifestyle author Ivo Pauwels, in his familiar, fascinating style, takes the reader back to the past. He brings the memories of the centuries-old building techniques and the forgotten knowledge of the materials used in roof trusses, tiles and thatched roofs.

Lifelong landscape design means thinking about more than your garden. It involves encouraging your community to be a well-rooted environment consisting of friends who share home-grown produce, walk in the neighborhood, recycle, water harvest, compost and are watchful of each other’s well-being.

Learn easy steps to design your own lifelong landscape through more than 200 landscape patterns and activities that illustrate components of healthy living. Enhance the quality of your life at any stage with practical advice from this inspirational landscape architect with more than 30 years experience.

Lighting brings the finishing touch to any garden or landscape. It introduces magic and illusion by enhancing some spaces while leaving others shrouded in mystery.

Divided into thematic chapters looking at the different uses and effects of light, the book covers a whole range of lighting styles from simple lanterns and fairy lights to fibreoptics and LEDs, used for garden rooms, patios, pool areas, decking, pathways, roof gardens, and architectural features and plants.

Practical advice is also given on choosing lighting, hardware, planning, and safety.

A beautiful reference book for anyone with a balcony or garden

In recent years a new generation of artists and designers has discovered that garden plants - from moss and grass to fullgrown trees - can become astonishing works of living sculpture. Iconoclast garden designer Paul Cooper has gathered together the best examples of this exciting new art form while overturning many preconceptions about what is possible in the context of both gardening and art, showing that every garden has the potential to include dramatic and lasting sculpture.

Living Systems surveys a wide array of innovative approaches to material technologies within the field of landscape architecture. The selected projects and materials exhibit a contemporary demand for technological landscapes and the collaboration between designers, engineers, scientists and ecologists. The book proposes a synthesis between technology and theory, focusing on growth, flow, metabolism, climate, and atmospheric phenomena.

Projects and materials are cross-referenced according to performance criteria, processes, and properties. Each of the 36 international projects and 23 material technologies is presented with drawing details and construction photographs. Descriptions of key processes and adaptive qualities provide an analysis of the various complex systems featured, such as vertical growth structures, flood prevention, stormwater infiltration and erosion control.

Projects featured include works by West8, GROSS.MAX, Weiss-Manfredi Architects, Field Operations, Kathryn Gustafson, and Vogt Landschaftarchitekten.

Living walls enable plants turn 90 degrees vertically to become a special surface, which could increase the buildings’ artistic effects and inject vigour to them.

This book introduces some excellent cases of various vertical greening methods, including both exterior walls and interior walls.

Each case is equipped with rich and accurate elevations and detail drawings, providing a continuity view from the vegetation to the wall.

This book includes not only technical data about green walls, but also some of the latest green wall projects for inspiration. It is composed of two parts: technical theories and some wonderful projects.

The first part goes into the finer details about green wall systems characteristics, design approaches, and considerations, including system construction, growing medium, plants, irrigation, and illumination. The examples and technological drawings are used to make theories easier to understand. The secrets of the king of green wall design, Patrick Blanc, and his successful projects, are discussed in this part.

The second part of the book is a fine collection of green wall projects completed by world-renowned designers such as Patrick Blanc, Vertical Garden Design, and Kengo Kuma and Associates. Each project in this book has detailed drawings that will be great value for designers.

Over the course of the twentieth century, Country Life’s influential weekly articles on gardens have resulted in an unrivalled archive of gardening history, which forms the basis for this book. The ephemeral nature of gardens means that they can very easily become ‘lost’. The 45 lost English gardens illustrated and discussed in detail are organised by region and cover a wide range of period and style from the 1890s through to the 1930s, revealing the magic of Victorian and Edwardian garden design.

Beautifully reproduced in duotone, the 160 stunning photographs bear testament to the rich and varied heritage of English gardens and of the people who created them. Kathryn Bradley-Hole has revisited the locations and her carefully researched, perceptive text explains their background and their fate.

Luciano Giubbilei is known for his award-winning gardens at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show and for his beautiful and serene garden designs for private houses across the world.

Since 2012 he has been working on an experimental flower bed in the famous garden of Great Dixter in East Sussex, in close collaboration with the Head Gardener, Fergus Garrett. In this elegant new book, Giubbilei explains the development of his style over the last few years, and describes the philosophy by which he works.

The first part of the book explores Giubbilei’s work at Great Dixter across the four seasons. The second part examines his love of craft and traditionally made objects, and – through visits to and discussion with craftsmen in the UK and beyond – considers the contribution such work makes to his garden design.

The final part constitutes a wider investigation of Giubbilei’s influences under the broad themes of water, colour and texture, revealing exactly what it is about the world that inspires him and how that is manifested in his designs, with specific reference to his gardens for the Chelsea Flower Show in 2014 and the Venice Biennale in 2015.

With new photography throughout and full plant lists, this book will appeal to garden lovers everywhere, as well as those seeking a deeper understanding of the creative process behind making a garden.
