Inspirational Books – Celebrating #NationalBookLoversDay
Following National Book Lovers Day, we asked our multi-disciplinary teams:
“Which book inspired your career in landscape architecture and design, ecology, arboriculture?”
Here are just a few of the fantastic titles they shared:
- Ecology, Community and Delight: Sources of Values in Landscape Architecture – Ian H. Thompson
- The Landscape of Man: Shaping the Environment from Prehistory to the Present Day – Geoffrey & Susan Jellicoe
- Landscapes in Landscapes – Piet Oudolf
- Dream Plants for the Natural Garden – Piet Oudolf
- Landscape Architecture and Environmental Sustainability – Joshua Zeunert
- Feral: Rewilding the Land, Sea and Human Life – George Monbiot
- Biodiversity – E.O. Wilson
- Anything by Stephen Jay Gould
- Gaudí: The Complete Buildings 1852–1926 – A Life Devoted to Architecture
- The River of Singing Fish – Arkady Fiedler
From visionary design principles to explorations of sustainability, biodiversity, rewilding, and architecture, these books have had a positive impact.
