Landscape Architecture Documentation Standards: Principles, Guidelines, and Best Practices

Landscape Architecture Documentation Standards: Principles, Guidelines, and Best Practices by Design Workshop covers the key documentation needs of the landscape architectural design and construction process. It was published by Wiley in 2015 as a 432-page paperback.

The book addresses both design documentation and construction documentation, along with the transition between the two phases. It sets out best practices for each phase and drawing, from title block and cover sheet design to soil plans and plant protection, and explains how to organize keynoting systems, cross-referencing, and coordination among consultants. Sample project documents from a landscape architecture firm are included for study.

According to the publisher, the standards were tested by over 150 designers at Design Workshop on parks, streetscapes, urban spaces, and over-structure construction.
