Bridges the Gap Between Traditional Methods of Site Planning and
Design and The Growing Awareness of Sustainability Issues
By Russ Thomas
A COMPLETE SITE PLANNING HANDBOOK REFLECTING
THE CHALLENGES AND CONCERNS OF THE NEW MILLENNIUM
Site Planning and Design Handbook bridges the gap between the
traditional methods of site planning and design and our growing
awareness of sustainability issues. Meticulously written and heavily
illustrated with construction details and graphic standards, the
Handbook offers thorough, detailed coverage of:
Site analysis
Environmental assessment
Grading
Design for traffic control
Open space design
Project management issues, including permitting and quality
assurance
Historic landscapes
Preserving trees
Storm water management
Materials specifications and standards
Author Thomas Russ, a registered landscape architect and
environmental manager, skillfully blends the technical as well as
artistic aspects of site design to generate creativity and
efficiency in both realms. Russ provides standards and guidelines
that will support a design choice and provide a basis for educating
clients and the public.
Site Planning and Design Handbook is the perfect vehicle for
landscape architects, civil engineers, architects, and planners and
developers who want to successfully create within the "new design
paradigm."
