"What does the landscape architect actually do as a design?" The authors investigate this seemingly simple question. What resources are available for designing open spaces? What part is played by conditions deriving from nature? How are locations and spaces created in the open air, how are paths routed and boundaries set, how are hard and soft materials used? Drawing on practical and theoretical experience, this introduction, often used as a textbook, reveals the central components of design and the intellectual paths followed in the design process. "The book is not so much for reading but for doing. It plays with shapes, imagining how people feel in these shapes and seeing how shapes create a different experience of landscape. Vegetation can make the relief of a hill clearer, less clear, indistinct or hidden. The authors show this by sketches illustrating the text ... As an example of the way Loidl and Bernard set their readers thinking for themselves, I quote what they regard as good design: 'The paradox of a good design solution: more uniformity needs more variety.'Food for thought. Or read Open(ing) Spaces." (Martin Woestenburg in 'scape, 2006)

Seller's Description:
Very good. The art of designing both unites and divides landscape architecture and architecture. Despite having a long tradition, landscape architecture has lacked a concise presentation of the fundamental principles underlying its design and planning concepts. This much sought-after book has evolved out of more than twenty years of teaching experience. The authors distinguish between the variable factors such as climate, growth of vegetation etc., and the more abstract element of design. They describe the ideal design components and demonstrate the extent to which natural features such as surfaces, spaces, paths, borders, hard and soft materials shape the designs. This book reveals how concepts such as order and chaos, way and goal, intention and reaction form the basis for landscape design, just as they do in architecture. Hans Loidl has been Professor for Landscape Architecture in Berlin since 1982 and has headed his own atelier since 1984. Stefan Bernard works as a landscape architect and graphic designer. Die zentrale Rolle des Entwurfs eint und trennt Landschaftsarchitektur und Architektur. Trotz ihrer großen Tradition verfügt Landschaftsarchitektur bislang nicht über ein Instrumentarium, um die Grundlagen des Entwerfens transparent darzustellen. "Und so lange wir nicht (einigermaßen) verstehen, was wir einander sagen wollen, ist es ein müßiges Spiel, miteinander über Entwürfe zu reden." (aus der Einleitung) Auf der Grundlage von mehr als zwei Jahrzehnten Lehrerfahrung entstand dieses wegweisende Buch. Es macht deutlich, dass Landschaftsarchitektur wie Architektur von Dimensionen wie Ordnung und Chaos, Weg und Ziel, Intention und Reaktion bestimmt wird und in welchem Maß die im Freiraum möglichen Flächen-und Raumformen, Wegführungen und Grenzsetzungen, harten und weichen Materialien den landschaftsarchitektonischen Entwurf prägen. Hans Loidl ist seit 1982 Professor für Landschaftsarchitektur in Berlin und führt sein eigenes Atelier. Stefan Bernard ist als Landschaftsarchitekt und Graphiker tätig.
