ISBN: 9783764385026 出版年：2012 页码：223 Petschek, Peter Birkhäuser

The contour line is the only precise and accurate means for representing the free and natural formation of terrain in the plan; so learn to use this instrument! 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.
