This pattern-based approach, in lieu of a mechanical categorization based on materials (wood, metal, stone) or application (paving, walls, canopies), focuses on conveying general principles, as well as specific details, across a range of conditions, which is impressive. This emphasis on aesthetics — and not just visual, but aesthetics that appreciate elegance, simplicity, and timeless details — permeates the book, and is part of what lifts it above other catalogs of technique.\" (\u003ci\u003eLandscape Architecture Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, Oct 2011) \u003cb\u003eTom R.
