Colour Trilogy in Landscape Design is an unusual book on the subject of landscape design. Focused primarily on the South Asian region, it introduces landscape design methods from surveying and field assessment to discussing multi-sensory approaches and then going on to lay out ways of building landscape architectural design ideas.
The book is aimed at students majoring in landscape architecture, planning and urban design but serves as a usual handbook for any landscape design practitioner.
The book focuses on three core components of landscape: green space, water surface space and architectural elements in space. Accordingly, the book is organised on three basic colours with into three chapters:
BOOK OF GREEN: taking green space as the main theme
BOOK OF BLUE: taking the water surface as the main theme
BOOK OF GREY: taking the architectural elements in the space as the main theme
The book is devised by Nguyen Thai Huyen, Viraj Chatterjee and Bui Thi Thuy Ngoc.
