Professor Hans Loidl, Landscape Architect and Teacher The two design elements of landscape architecture are plants and terrain. While the subject of vegetation is well documented by numerous publications, there is a lack of technical literature in the field of grading. This volume fills that gap: History, forms of terrain, basic principles, digital modeling, slope reinforcement systems, construction site implementation, and practical examples - all are treated in detail by the author. Short problems, systematically organized and arranged in increasing order of difficulty, enable the reader to apply what he or she has learned. The exercises are suitable for self-study. Together with the large amount of practical information provided by the book, they also enable architects to become familiar with grading as an important design element of landscape architecture.History, forms of terrain, basic principles, digital modeling, slope reinforcement systems, construction site implementation, and practical examples-all are treated in detail by the author. Short problems, systematically organized, enable the reader to apply what he or she has learned.Grading (Earthwork)Landscape architectureTechniqueLandscape constructionSoil compactionElectronic books.Grading (Earthwork)Landscape architectureTechnique.Landscape construction.Soil compaction.624.152Petschek Peter901400Read Jessica1026771Walker Peter614205Hochschule für Technik Rapperswil.Institut für Geschichte und Theorie der Landschaftsarchitektur.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462996103321Grading for landscape architects and architects2441872UNINA
