Following on from the highly acclaimed The Landscape Lighting Book, this is the essential lighting design companion for professionals and students in landscape architecture. Authored by an award-winning, internationally renowned landscape lighting designer with over 40 years of professional practice, The Art of Landscape Lighting takes readers step-by-step through Janet Lennox Moyer's design process. With a personal and accessible tone, the book covers a wide range of topics, including tools, equipment, techniques, effects, installation, design composition, and challenges using real-life case studies spanning the author's career. Each project in the book guides readers through the process of planning compositions, selecting what should be lit and what should remain unlit, prioritizing the importance of multiple elements, balancing brightness relationships, providing visual transportation across scenes, lighting the same space in different ways, and importantly, guidance on when designs are complete.

Lavishly designed and illustrated with 450 full-color photographs, showcasing projects from start to finish, the book also includes new landscape lighting equipment and techniques developed by Moyer throughout her career. These include shore scraping, rainwall lighting, approaches for lighting water features and sculptures, and the 3-prong stake.

Aimed at practicing professionals and students in landscape architecture, this book is a must-have inspirational resource that provides everything you need to design and implement landscape lighting across various scales.
