The Architecture Of Trees By Cesare Leonardi Franca Stagi
The Architecture of Trees by Cesare Leonardi and Franca Stagi is a legendary botanical study, first published in 1982 and still unmatched in its detail and beauty. This large-format volume features more than 400 fine-line illustrations of 211 tree species, each drawn with quill pen at a scale of 1 to 100.
Every tree is shown both in leaf and bare, alongside tables detailing seasonal changes in colour, shadow, and form. The result is both scientific and poetic — a work that captures the structure, rhythm and life of trees with extraordinary precision.
This is the first English-language edition of a book that took over two decades to complete. It remains an essential resource for architects, landscape designers, artists and anyone with a deep interest in the natural world.
