Features: This book, edited by the main editor of HMNelte Publishing House, is a widely recorded collection of works by landscape architects from both genders, serving as a much-needed and highly commendable contribution. In this book, landscape architects showcase their rich design ideas in the context of rural and urban environments. The scope of work for landscape architects is vast and diverse: researching ecological issues in large-scale construction projects; urban and rural development and utilization, professional design of gardens within industrial and commercial enterprises, architectural planning for public transportation; long-term planning for regional and national gardens, design of public gardens and green spaces of various scales, environmental design for public buildings and comprehensive schools; unconventional landscape beautification in industrial areas; reconstruction and careful reclamation of historically significant gardens; as well as the design of private gardens, and much more. In all these works, people—as the users of gardens—remain the center of the design. At the same time, landscape architects must be able to protect and rationally utilize natural resources while respecting the ecological environment, and only those landscape architects trained in landscape design and natural sciences can grasp all the above issues from a macro perspective. This book includes a large number of design examples by German landscape architects, such as the design of gardens within industrial and commercial enterprises, the design of public gardens and green spaces of various scales, and environmental design for public buildings and comprehensive schools, showcasing different types of examples.
