Elements of Visual Design in the Landscape

by Simon Bell

What makes a visually appealing landscape? How can the design and use of a landscape be harmonised? These are just some of the questions tackled in this refreshing approach to the subject. In Elements of Visual Design in the Landscape the author explains a range of design principles.

This new edition includes revised and updated text that will link to other areas of research and disciplines such as aesthetic philosophy and psychology. A third of the photographs have been replaced with new photographs showing better and more recent examples and also reflecting landscape in a wider range of countries.

A fairly thorough and well laid out system for describing landscape design but a little over complex and academics for my tastes. Preferred Katherine Dee's form and fabric.
