Great guidelines to design by and LARE review material

I actually had the honor of taking serveral of classes with Prof. Booth while getting my landscape architecture degree. Basic Elements of Landscape Architectural Design is very straight forward and easy to understand. The book is appropriately titled containing all of the basic elements of design in this profession from landforms, spatial definition, plant material uses, and water to the design process. This book helped me pass section B of the LARE (Landscape Architectural Registration Exam) and I have continued to keep it on hand as a reference.

a good foundational book

This text is a good beginning one for landscape architectural studies- the first chapter on earthwork is not the latest technology, but valuable nonetheless to understand how it was done before GIS and more sophisticated equipment and methods.
