Form and Fabric in Landscape Architecture provides an original visual appraoch to the study of landscape architecture by creating a spatial morphology based on the use and experience of landscapes. It explores aesthetic, spatial and experiential concepts by providing a structure through which landscapes can be understood and conceived in design. ‘Fabric’ is the integrated structure of whole landscapes, while ‘form’ refers to the compenents that make up this fabric. Together form and fabric create a morphology of landscape useful for the development of visual-spatial desgin thinking and awareness.
This book is intended as both an introduction for students of landscape architecture, architecture and planning, and as a source of continuing interest for more experienced environmental designers.
