Summary:

"The volume presents a discussion on the meaning and scope of landscape architecture in India. Emphasising on the inter-disciplinary nature of the subject, it outlines the aspects of the natural sciences--climate, soils, hydrology, vegetation, ecology and animals--that need to be understood to comprehend landscape and the way it evolves. It then emphasises the importance of the historical and cultural contexts, focusing on changing perceptions of man's relationship with nature. It discusses the terms, methods, processes and important stages in conceptualisation, development and realisation of a landscape design project. With case studies, it examines India's physiographic regions in detail to throw light on environmental issues and conservation and development activities, taking into account traditional practices as in agriculture and agro-forestry. It includes examples of the works of landscape architects from across the country to demonstrate the range and scale of landscape projects being carried out"-- DK Agencies (P) Ltd. website.
