Drawing for Landscape Architecture: Sketch to Screen to Site

This is a beautiful book, don't get me wrong, and it would be a nice coffee table addition. I was frustrated because I thought it could be useful for my graphic skills studio classes but, instead, it is a showcase or catalog of the author's work: very nice drawings and projects (though you will find pretty limited material on them). There is very limited text and only brief descriptions of how the author achieved the illustrations, and even less about the making or the techniques utilized. Very nice book but just not what I needed.

Very good examples and illustrations of various styles of graphic representation. Great for the design studio and the computer lab.

Good buy.

Draw. Draw. And Draw. Until you become a drawing.Well, this amazing book is full with inspirations.The author clearly states the importance of site observations through the use of hand drawn sketches for more comprehensive understanding of the surrounding objects.I received this book as a Christmas gift, and I can spend hours and hours reading it.Enjoy!

All good

Knot quiet what I was looking for but good book

Another great book from Edward Hutchison. Gives lots of inspiration and information.

Great book, lovely sketches and very inspirational

Considering the current shift back to hand drawing, this book is riding the wave. The author is a competent artist and his approach to landscape design from site analysis to detail specification is interesting and inspiring. As someone who has been from the drawing board to the screen and back again, it's refreshing to see that once again these techniques are being recognised as a human and direct way of communicating ideas rather than an out dated way of working. The application of hand drawn images with digital ones is potentially very exciting and it is this message which the book conveys most strongly to me.
