Foundations of Landscape Architecture: Integrating Form and Space Using the Language of Site Design

Foundations of Landscape Architecture is an indispensable book. I'm still studying it but I feel very lucky to have "discovered" it. Essential for Landscaping Architecture students! (as myself). It's only regrettable it has not been translated to portuguese yet (I'm from Brazil). Fortunately I have a long familiarity with english, which doesn't happen to my classmates...

A true masterpiece...Impressive.... Booth has produced an exceptionally important book that effectively describes design principles from the most fundamental stages of the design process. With a multitude of example drawings, one is able to truly assimilate what's being presented. Highly readable, it is distinguished by its ability to describe and evoke landscape design principles in vivid detail. I would categorize it as one of the most important books I own. Again, Impressive!

If you like thinking about the theory and application of form design, this is a great book in my opinion. In depth consideration of how to use line, diagonal, circle, square, triangle, and so forth in landscape designing. Set forth clearly in the text and reinforced with graphic diagrams and examples of application in prominent landscape designs.

Love the book. Great fundamentals.

I'm going to school for Landscape Architect, and this book is 100000% perfect.

Extremely helpful diagrams and text outlining the key elements of spatial organization in the landscape. A must have resource for any Landscape Designer or Architect.

I enjoy the book... It helps a lot in my work.., the way the author talks about shapes, how to combine... It is very interesting..,,

Great book with lots of design fundamentals. Wonderful drawings and clear directions on the basics of design.
