Patios, Driveways, and Plazas: The Pattern Language of Concrete Pavers (Schiffer Book for Designers) - Softcover
Synopsis
Concrete pavers are one of the hottest pavements around homes, commercial buildings, and urban spaces. Designers know that the selection of pavement patterns and colors have a big influence on the character of these places. In this book, you'll learn the design vocabulary of basic paving patterns and progress to more intricate variations. Each of the 300-plus color photos demonstrates how specific patterns, colors, and textures enhance every outdoor environment - including patios, walkways, drives, and grand urban plazas. Some of the best projects from across North America illustrate this book. Written for landscape architects, architects, contractors, and homeowners alike, this is the design handbook for concrete pavers. Besides presenting a wealth of ideas, the book will enrich and build your design vocabulary and pattern language using concrete pavers.

From Library Journal
Technical director of the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute (a trade association of concrete paver makers and installers), Smith offers a colorful book that illustrates the many design possibilities offered by concrete paving blocks. Using over 300 attractive photos, Smith shows how blocks have been used in many private and public spaces. The photos make up the bulk of this title other than a short introduction for each chapter, the only other text is in the captions. An appendix lists a number of paver suppliers in the United States and Canada. Although this title is essentially a trade group's sales piece, it could prove to be a useful design tool. It should be purchased for comprehensive building collections in public libraries.
