Natural Pattern Forms A Practical Handbook for Landscape Designs
Richard L. Dube published 1997, International Thomson Publishing, NY
Here for the first time is a practical guide to naturalistic landscape design. With the aid of easy-to-use templates, the author introduces you to 48 natural pattern forms, and shows you how to apply these natural solutions to everyday outdoor design problems. Imagine drawing from a palette as varied as an arcing river, receeding hills - even clouds and frost. This book provides the inspiration you need to break away from staid design solutions and discover design solutions that are creative and natural. All 48 original templates include a sketch, a photo, and a discussion of the structure, aesthetic attributes, and underlying emotional tone of the pattern form. In addition Mr Dube shows how each form can be reconfigured to meet the needs of specific spaces. Further each template is cross-referenced to specific design applications, demonstrating practical ways to incorporate natural pattern forms in real designs.
This book is a unique and invaluable visual resource for professionals and a creative guide for students who are learning to see the natural landscape in a new way.
