Following on from the critically acclaimed The Landscape Lighting Book, this is the lighting design companion every professional and student in landscape architecture needs. Written by an award-winning internationally renowned landscape lighting designer, with over 40 years’ experience in professional practice, The Art of Landscape Lighting takes the reader step-by-step through Janet Lennox Moyer’s design process.
