Details about Digital Drawing for Landscape Architecture: Contemporary Techniques and Tools for Digital Representation in Site Design:

For a hundred years, pencil, pen, markers, and watercolor have been the principal tools of representation for landscape architects and urban planners. Today, those hand-powered aids have been replaced by digital tools). Digital Drawing for Landscape Architects bridges the gap between the traditional analog and the new digital tools and shows how to apply timeless concepts of representation to enhance design work in digital media. The book explores specific techniques for creating landscape design including digitally rendered plans, perspectives, and diagrams. This edition builds on the foundation of the first edition by expanding on the range of concepts and techniques to include: discussion about the role of different drawings in contemporary design practice with an emphasis on presenting a clear understanding of how diagram, plan, section, elevation and perspective work together to represent a design approach; coverage of new directions in digital representation including how to create time-based drawings that show landscapes in motion and changing over time; and heavier focus on using techniques in a professional studio environment.
