Features: "What should a designer and landscape architect do?" This seems like a simple question, but the author of this book has researched it and discussed it from the perspective of basic landscape design theory. When designing external spaces, what resources can we utilize? How do design concepts and their descriptions transform into one another? How do social and perceptual factors become considerations in the design process? Which parts of the design are controlled by natural conditions? How do we determine the location of a space, the layout of roads and boundaries to form a specific external space, and how do we choose between soft and hard materials? This book defines and analyzes the fundamental elements that constitute landscape architecture. Through the author's theoretical and practical experience, it reveals the core elements of open space design and the path that design should follow.
