Features: Based on the use and experience of landscapes, this book provides an original and visual approach to landscape architecture research through the creation of spatial morphology. It introduces aesthetic, spatial, and experiential concepts by establishing models upon which landscape design is based and recognized. "Texture" refers to the comprehensive structure of all landscape space, while "form" is the elements and components that constitute the texture. Forms and textures together contribute to the development of spatial design thinking and rationality in landscape morphology. This book introduces fundamental principles, making it suitable for students of landscape architecture, landscape design, architecture, planning, and related fields. It can also serve as a reference for designers with practical experience. The author of this book, Catherine Dee, is a senior lecturer in Landscape Architecture at the Department of Landscape Architecture, University of Sheffield, UK.
