Draping Period Costumes: Classical Greek to Victorian: (The Focal Press Costume Topics Series)

audiobook Draping Period Costumes: Classical Greek to Victorian: (The Focal Press Costume Topics Series) by Sharon Sobel in Arts-Photography

Description

Today; there is a growing demand for designed landscapesmdash;from public parks to backyardsmdash;to be not only beautiful and functional; but also sustainable. Sustainability means more than just saving energy and resources. It requires integrating the landscapes we design with ecological systems. With Principles of Ecological Landscape Design; Travis Beck gives professionals and students the first book to translate the science of ecology into design practice. This groundbreaking work explains key ecological concepts and their application to the design and management of sustainable landscapes. It covers biogeography and plant selection; assembling plant communities; competition and coexistence; designing ecosystems; materials cycling and soil ecology; plant-animal interactions; biodiversity and stability; disturbance and succession; landscape ecology; and global change. Beck draws on real world cases where professionals have put ecological principles to use in the built landscape. The demand for this information is rising as professional associations like the American Society of Landscape Architects adopt new sustainability guidelines (SITES). But the need goes beyond certifications and rules. For constructed landscapes to perform as we need them to; we must get their underlying ecology right. Principles of Ecological Landscape Design provides the tools to do just that.

I was tired of store bought patterns not keeping up with fashion trends.2. I wanted to learn pattern making for a better fit.This book goes into good detail without getting too technical and overwhelming. The book is organized into 3 parts with an additional section on Making Patterns from Existing Clothes.An interesting fact about the author:Cal Patch was a clothing designer for Urban Outfitters and Free People before creating her own label.**I did a video review so others could get a better peak of "whats inside the book"**1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
