Any landscape architect worth their soil should pick up The Architecture of Trees, an all-encompassing atlas of all things tree-related.--The Architect's Newspaper An incredible book for anyone interested in trees, this botanical masterwork's new edition preserves the original magnificent illustrations and text, translated into English for the first time. Selected as an Oprah's Favorite Things pick upon its release, The Architecture of Trees is a gorgeous, large-format volume that features more than 550 exquisite quill-pen drawings of trees. The result of over twenty years of dedicated study by landscape architects Cesare Leonardi and Franca Stagi, this is a legendary and unsurpassed masterwork. This new edition's features include:
- Each of the 212 tree species drawn to a scale of 1:100, with and without foliage.
- Tables of seasonal color variation and projections of shadows cast during the hours of daylight and season by season.
- Detailed and scientific drawings found in no other tree book.
Considered a standard in many landscape architecture firms, this botany book's drawings, essays, and charts are essential for large-scale landscaping projects and a helpful tool for backyard renovations. Landscape designers will think in new ways about the effect of seasons and the time of day on trees, and anyone interested in nature and trees will be captivated by the hand-drawn illustrations, each stunning in detail. An oversized, captivating coffee table book for lovers of art and nature illustrations, The Architecture of Trees could be considered the Bible for tree lovers (Western Art & Architecture). With its accurate drawings of trees and detailed looks at branches, leaves, and fruit, it also serves as a helpful tree identification book and a reference guide for landscape architecture, botany, dendrology, architecture, and illustration students.
