Each illustration is drawn to a scale of 1:100, with and without foliage, complete with tables of seasonal colour variations and projections of shadows cast during the hours of daylight by season. L'Architettura degli Alberi, first published in 1982, has been out of print for two decades.

This is the first English-language edition of a landmark study that took more than 20 years to complete; an essential addition to the library of architects, designers, botanists and anyone fascinated by trees and by nature in all its varieties.
