Residential Landscape Architecture: Design Process for the Private Residence
Primarily for architects and designers just beginning their careers, Booth and Hiss (both Ohio State U.) explain the fundamentals of residential site design, which is usually much more modest than their formal training has prepared them for. Rather than seeing the site as a cosmetic or horticultural afterthought, they approach it as a series of outdoor rooms with basic structures and functions similar to those of indoor rooms, and discuss how to create them, how to design them into a pre- existing site, and how to select and compose materials to furnish them.
