Introducing the first all-in-one guide to site furniture
principles, processes, and best practices
Furniture matters-outdoors as well as in. Understanding the
connections between site and site furniture enhances the creative
opportunities for designers of outdoor spaces and increases their
ability to influence the long-term success of the spaces they
design. Site Furnishings comprehensively examines how to elevate
the design of site furnishings to achieve programming goals.
Intended for landscape architects, designers, and contractors, as
well as urban planners and designers, civil engineers, and other
professionals, this accessible resource explores the ways that
furniture contributes to the quality of outdoor spaces, and
provides conceptual tools, technical information, and examples of
successful applications. Just as important, it provides an in-depth
overview of the elements that comprise site furnishings and the
critical issues that inform site furniture selection.
