About the book
Grading
Along with vegetation, grading is one of the most critical design tools in landscape architecture. This textbook covers its fundamental concepts. Grading also serves as the "steering wheel" for rainwater, and this edition features comprehensive insights into stormwater management by Prof. Dr Kim N. Irvine. The material connects directly to the subsequent chapter on drainage, which explores how inlets, manholes, catch basins, and pipes guide rainwater to Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS) features in tight urban situations.
Additionally, David Walker contributes a chapter explaining the seamless integration of design and grading through high-profile projects, including the New York City 9/11 Memorial. Complete with the chapter “Grading and Drainage Exercises,” this book helps landscape architects and architects master grading.
- Numerous practical examples are included in the task section to help apply the theory.
- Theoretical foundations of grading for practitioners and students
- Revised and updated
- Comprehensive chapter on stormwater management
