Site Planning, 2nd Edition

by Kevin Lynch

Book Overview

The highly successful first edition of Site Planningwas greeted by reviewers as "a most unusual type of book, in which the most practical and detailed advice is given in terms readily absorbed by beginners, though it is written by a leading theoretician concerning 'the image of the city'" (Architectural Forum)...and as meriting a "prominent place on the bookshelves of all us actively concerned with achieving true quality in our changing environment"...

Whoa!

I'm amazed that people didn't like this book more... I am also a Land Arch student who had it as an assigned book that was rarely actually assigned. I was thumbing through it in hopes of generating ideas for another class and was amazed at the amount of usable information it contained. Perhaps it is better digested in chunks instead of the whole. I found it great as a reference book.

Photographically splendid. The pictures are breath - taking.

It was the best book I have ever read. I recommend to people who are involved, or want to be involved in the field of landscape architecture.
