Landscape Architecture Documentation Standards: Principles, Guidelines, and Best Practices, 1st Edition

.\nA project will only be built as well as it is documented. This publication focuses on the key documentation needs of the landscape architectural design and construction documentation process. That includes both "design documentation" and "construction documentation" as well as all that which occurs in the transition from one phase to the other.\nDocumentation requirements include those components necessary to explore and define design intent, logic, physical proposals, and ultimately, the specific components included within construction and bid documents.\nDiscover how proper documentation facilitates every stage of the design process from pre-planning to construction, and leads to a highly resolved built outcome. Understand the principles behind these documentation practices.\nImplement best practices specific to each documentation phase and drawing, from title block and cover sheet design to soil plans and plant protection.\nOrganize keynoting systems, cross-referencing and interdisciplinary coordination amongst multiple consultants and vendors.\nStudy sample project documents from a leading landscape architecture firm to better understand the elements and benefits of complete and well-coordinated project documentation.\nThese standards have been time-tested by over 150 designers at the industry leading landscape architecture firm Design Workshop, reflecting a range of project types, including parks, streetscapes, urban spaces and over-structure construction. This guide shares the methods behind the success, to facilitate exceptional built outcomes through principled documentation practices.\nLandscape Architecture Documentation Standards: Principles, Guidelines, and Best Practices 1st Edition is written by Design Workshop and published by John Wiley & Sons P&T.
