Form and Fabric in Landscape Architecture provides an original, visual approach to the study of landscape architecture by creating a spatial morphology based on use and experience of landscapes. It explores aesthetic, spatial and experiential concepts by providing a structure through which landscapes can be understood and conceived in design. 'Fabric' is the integrated structure of whole landscapes, while 'form' refers to the compnents that make up this fabric. Together form and fabric create a morphology of landscape useful for the development of visual-spatial design thinking and awareness. This book is intended as both an introduction to the discipline for students of landscape architecture, architecture and planning, and a source of continuing interest for more experienced environmental designers.
This book investigates how the concepts of form and fabric can be utilized to create a spatial morphology that improves the study and practice of landscape architecture. Catherine Dee, an experienced educator in the field, presents a structured framework that bridges the gap between theoretical design concepts and the practical experience of physical spaces. By defining 'fabric' as the integrated structure of a landscape and 'form' as its constituent parts, the author provides a methodology for designers to analyze and conceive environments with greater visual-spatial awareness.
What You Will Find
Experts and educators frequently cite this text as a foundational resource for students learning to conceptualize landscape design through a structured, morphological lens. Readers often note the clarity of the visual approach, which helps bridge the gap between abstract design theory and the physical reality of built environments.
