This pattern-based approach, in lieu of a mechanical categorization based on materials (wood, metal, stone) or application (paving, walls, canopies), focuses on conveying general principles, as well as specific details, across a range of conditions, which is impressive. This emphasis on aesthetics — and not just visual, but aesthetics that appreciate elegance, simplicity, and timeless details — permeates the book, and is part of what lifts it above other catalogs of technique.\" (\u003ci\u003eLandscape Architecture Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, Oct 2011)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAcknowledgments.\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntroduction.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART I – DETAIL PATTERNS.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSECTION 1 AESTHETICS.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER \u003cb\u003e1 Aesthetics.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSECTION 2 FUNCTION.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER \u003cb\u003e2 Controlling Water Movement.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER \u003cb\u003e3 Controlling Subsurface Water Movement and Sedimentation.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER \u003cb\u003e4 Accommodating Movement.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER \u003cb\u003e5 Accommodating Growth.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER \u003cb\u003e6 Providing Structural Support.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER \u003cb\u003e7 Providing Passages for Pipes and Wires.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER \u003cb\u003e8 Health and Safety.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER \u003cb\u003e9 Providing for the Life Cycles of the Landscape.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSECTION 3 CONSTRUCTIBILITY.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER \u003cb\u003e10 Ease of Assembly.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER \u003cb\u003e11 Forgiving Details.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER \u003cb\u003e12 Efficient Use of Construction Resources.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER \u003cb\u003e13 Sustainability.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART II – DETAIL DEVELOPMENT.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSECTION 1 APPLYING THE DETAIL PATTERNS.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER \u003cb\u003e14 Detailing a Traditional Plaza.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER \u003cb\u003e15 Detailing a Rooftop Garden.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER \u003cb\u003e16 Detailing a Residence.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSECTION 2 GETTING STARTED.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAPPENDIX A: The Detailer’s Reference Shelf.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAPPENDIX B: Formulating Exercises for Self-Study or Classroom Use.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eINDEX.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley \u0026 Sons Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49402362429783,"sku":"9780470548783","price":69.26,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/detailing-for-landscape-architects-9780470548783","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
