"Aimed at prospective and new students, this book gives a comprehensive introduction to the nature and practice of landscape architecture, the professional skills required and the latest developments. After discussing the history of the profession, [it] explains the design process through principles such as hierarchy, human scale, unity, harmony, asymmetry, colour, form and texture. It looks at how design is represented through both drawing and modelling, and through digital techniques such as CAD and the use of GIS. This is followed by an examination of project management and landscape management techniques. Finally the book explores educational and employment opportunities and the future of the profession in the context of climate change and sustainability."--Back cover.
