About book

Unlike concrete or masonry, plants are a living building material that changes in the course of the seasons and the years. Their growth and varying appearance are factors that must be considered when designing and planning.
In addition, plants can also be employed to create different design levels. They can be used as sheathing (green facades, ground cover – lawns) and to generate spaces of various heights (hedges, shrubs, trees).

Topics:

  • Basics of using plants
  • Plant typologies
  • Function and impact of spaces
  • Site-specificity
  • Design principles
  • Planting plan and representation
  • Execution

Die Pflanze ist anders als Mauerwerk oder Beton ein lebender Baustoff, der sich im Laufe der Jahreszeiten und Jahre verändert. Die unterschiedliche Erscheinung und das Wachstum sind Faktoren, die bei Entwurf und Planung berücksichtigt werden müssen.
Darüber hinaus können mit Pflanzen verschiedene Gestaltungsebenen geschaffen werden. Sie dienen der Verkleidung (Fassadenbegrünung, Bodenbelag, Rasen) und der Raumbildung in unterschiedlichen Höhen (Hecke, Strauch, Baum etc.).

Themen:

  • Grundlagen der Pflanzenverwendung
  • Pflanzentypologien
  • Raumwirkung und Funktion
  • Ortsbezug
  • Gestaltungsprinzipien
