From its roots in the Renaissance through the 19th century to the most interesting projects of the present day: the newly published book Drawing for Landscape Architects 2 by Prof. Dr. Sabrina Wilk focuses on perspective - its history, theory and practice.

In recent years, perspective views have become increasingly important in Landscape Architecture. As the showpiece of every new design, they have often replaced the plan as the central graphic communicator of ideas. No wonder, since they correspond most closely to human ways of seeing and perceiving.

Prof. Dr. Wilk's handbook explores the history of these multifaceted images - and their ability to shape our expectations and thinking. Key topics include: Introduction to terminology, landscape as a medium for ideas, and the future of perspective views. Also, numerous inspiring examples from international landscape architecture practices illustrate the importance of perspective in practice.
