GIS and Site Design: New Tools for Design Professionals

Rating:
Summary: Innovative introduction to the use of GIS in site design
Review: Hanna and Culpepper have provided the first book that deals with the practical use of GIS in landscape architecture. Hanna has developed an innovative methodology that bridges the gap between most small scale GIS and the (very) large scale (1:1200 +) of most site design. The book should be required reading for any landscape architect and any professional or student who is involved with site or community planning or design.

Rating:
Summary: Not an especially thorough examination of GIS and L.A.
Review: Not well organized, repetitive in parts and not well suited to the more advanced AV user.
