Landscape Architecture Documentation Standards: Principles, Guidelines, and Best Practices

Great book for new professionals in landscape architecture

Great book, but the book did not arrive 'fresh and off the shelf' as expected by the description. Feels well used rather than new. Disappointing.

Very detailed with illustrations, tables, and examples for everything such grading and drainage maps.Waiting for a kindle edition as well. Worth it.

Excellent Book, every landscape architecture student and worker should own one at hand. not only interpret documents, but all Quality Control principles behind

good referent doc for landscape architecure but this book is too many b/w images

Not very many images or visual references.

I’ve been teaching landscape architectural graphics, construction, and construction documentation for nearly twenty years. My office bookshelf has over four dozen books on graphics and construction documentation. But Landscape Architecture Documentation Standards: Principles, Guidelines, and Best Practices by Design Workshop is by far the best resource on this subject that I’ve ever used. It provides both academics and their students an up to date reference for current office practice in the production of design and construction documents. It is clearly organized, richly illustrated, and admirably fills a gap in the literature of the field. - Phillip Waite, Associate Professor, Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning, Utah State University

This book is for the practice, although colour pages would be a bonus

Very useful breakdown of documentation standards. Some of the images are hard to see due to size. Perhaps in a future edition they can provide a reference CD or link to view the plans in higher resolution. I saw one comment that too many drawings are black and white. Of course they are going to be black and white, how many firms do construction, tender or permit drawings in colour? This is not a book of pretty to look at presentation drawings. Bought it to study for the LARE section 4 but know that it will be an asset in the office for many projects after that. My coworkers are pumped about it too.
