Description

Computational Design for Landscape Architects This comprehensive guide introduces algorithmic approaches to modeling and designing landscapes. It shows how algorithms can be used to understand and design landscape as a generative system, harnessing the processes that shape it to generate new forms. The book covers a range of topics, from visual programming with Grasshopper to more advanced methods in Python, including parametric design, randomness and noise, waves and attractors, lidar, drone photogrammetry, point cloud modeling, terrain modeling, earthworks, digital fabrication, and others. Online resources are available, providing code and datasets for readers to try out the methods presented. Suitable for students, educators, and practitioners of landscape architecture, this book offers a much-needed guide that combines theoretical and practical knowledge.
