Designing the outdoor environment is a complex process. Landscape architects must take into account various factors such as space, distance and movement.

In addition to applying design skill, a great many influencing factors must be integrated into the spatial context when designing outdoor spaces. Parameters such as area requirements, clearances, lengths, and maneuvering spaces are important. Guidelines for some of these reference values can be derived from the dimensions of the human body, thus making outdoor spaces comfortable to use and experience.

The book 'Elements in Landscape' is a handy reference guide that enables students and planners alike to quickly find specific information on spatial matters that are relevant to various typologies. Key dimensions for circulation spaces and sports facilities, vegetation elements, and public open spaces are specified here, where they can be found quickly and easily. They form the basis for functional planning tailored to the specifics of use.
