內容介紹
"Landscape architecture applies cultural, artistic, technical, and scientifc knowledge to the design of an open space often integrated in the urban fabric. In this case, the goal is usually about bringing the city closer to na-ture. Through a commitment to preserve or improve the environment for human use and enjoyment, landscape architects take on the responsibility to create environments that, beyond their aesthetics and functions, show an appreciation and understanding of natural processes. These professionals thrive to bring together land and man-made objects usually with striking, creative imagination. The object of their work can be as varied as parks, gardens, waterfronts, courtyards, open spaces around public institutions, schools, hotels, hospitals, and airports. With the densifcation of cities and the lack of vacant spaces, landscape architects can see their territory of expertise expand to areas above ground level such as vertical gardens and rooftops. Regardless of the project type, the analysis of the site and the mapping of its features are the beginning of a creative process that fnalizes with thorough detailing which in turn, makes a landscape unique. This book is a compendium of examples that show how details help reinforce the general design concept and achieve a specifc desired effect. It takes you on a journey across the aesthetic, functional and construction aspects of landscape architecture to demonstrate how powerful design features can transform thematic ideas into awe-inspiring built realities. Based on the existing conditions of a specifc site, landscape architects use their creative abilities and knowledge to materialize their ideas through a design development that culminates with the selection of materials and the design of construction details. These details, which are key to the success of the project, can reinforce design ideas by means of the continuity and discontinuity of patterns; they can contribute to the overall form and geometry of the design; they can be designed to be long-lasting and fexible while enhancing the general design; they can anticipate the maintenance requirements to minimize future disruptions and maximize cost effectiveness.The materials included here have been selected for their capacity to inspire and propose innovative ideas on how to approach the design or construction of various aspects of landscape projects. The book is divided into the fol-lowing sections: Structures, which includes retailing walls and screens, surfacing and paving, fences, guardrails and railings, decks and boardwalks, pedestrian bridges, furniture and public art, and materials; Irrigation Design; Lighting Design; Pool Design and Water Features; and Planting. The latter includes comprehensive information on the selection and use of trees, plants, shrubs and herbs, and examples of planting design types.The details, in numerical order, are illustrated with color photographs, site plans, sections and numerous construction details. The images are accompanied by comprehensive captions that are, in some occasions, formulated as tips. This book is invaluable for architecture, garden, and landscape design students as well as for professionals who will fnd this book resourceful not only for understanding the work of the best contem-porary landscape architects, but also as an inspirational tool for their own design work.景觀作為一個城市的重要元素，通常融合了文化、藝術、工藝和科技等各個方面。在這個基礎上，景觀設計還應使城市更貼近自然。與呈現它的美觀及實現基本用途相比，景觀更應該與自然融合，保持並改善自然環境使之更適於人類生活。此書中的景觀設計師經過創造性的設計，將土地與人造物相結合。他們的工作對象多種多樣，有遊樂園、公園、海灘、庭院或公共場所的廣場。隨著城市密集化和土地缺乏化的嚴重，景觀設計師的設計領域已擴張到地面以上，比如空中花園和天台。不管是什麼類型的景觀設計，都是以地點選擇和功能定位開始，以貫穿全程的細節設計結尾，而這些細節設計通常是整個景觀設計與眾不同。《景觀設計的1000個細節》向讀者展示了，細節是如何加強設計概念並達到特殊的設計效果的。閱讀此書，縱覽景觀設計中的美學、功能學和建造學，你會知道強大的設計是如何將一個主題構想轉化為令人驚嘆的建築實物的。縱覽景觀設計中的美學、功能學和建造學，你會知道強大的設計可以使一個主題轉化為令人驚嘆的建築實物。以某個地點的現實條件為基礎，景觀設計師憑藉他們的創造力和知識，通過建築材料的選擇和建築細節的設計，可以使他們的建築方案最佳化。這些細節，是一個方案成功的關鍵，他們能加強設計效果、增強設計主題完成度，他們的套用可以降低未來建築的破壞度，並最大化的節儉成本。有些細節設計是永恆性的，有些細節設計是暫時的卻可以美化整體設計效果。此書被分為以下章節：景觀結構，包括公路、欄桿、人行天橋、公共藝術等；灌溉設計；燈光設計；游泳池設計和水景；園林綠化，該章綜合介紹了不同類型園林規劃中樹木、植物、灌木、草本植物的使用。該書的設計細節，都附有大量實物圖片、總平面圖、基地剖面圖和施工詳圖。這些圖片也帶有文字說明，比如在什麼地方套用。這本資源豐富的書對設計系學生、建築師、景觀設計師、專業人員來說都是一本珍貴的參考資料，他不僅讓設計師了解了當代最優秀的景觀設計師，更為設計師創造作品提供了靈感。"
