Since the first edition was published in 1992, Nick Robinson's The
Planting Design Handbook has been widely used as a definitive text on
landscape architecture courses throughout the world. It remains one of
the few titles written by a practicing landscape architect and
educator who is also a horticulturalist and accomplished plantsman,
and which deals with the application of planting design on a large
scale in landscape architecture and urban design projects. The
Planting Design Handbook is distinctive for its elegant integration of
an ecological approach with an understanding of visual and spatial
composition. It emphasizes the role of vegetation layers and designed
plant communities in complex and diverse plant assemblages for all
kinds of sites and uses. This expanded and comprehensively updated
third edition still provides a complete examination of principles and
practice of design for public, institutional and private landscapes.
It takes account of developments in theory and practice, especially in
the use of perennials, and reflects a variety of media and approaches
current in landscape architecture and design. All chapters have been
revised and re-written to ensure updated references and new references
have been added. Many new photographs of planting and projects around
the world have been included, with examples of current professional
drawings to illustrate the design process. It is generously
illustrated, including a colour section and the beautifully detailed
line drawings of the Chinese architect and painter Jia-Hua Wu.
