This PDF highlights how the increasing use of the automobile as well as the standardization of paving units began to revolutionize the way landscape were created. 

Learn how pavers continued to evolve and adapt to a changing societal needs. The invention of the cars and steam engines demand new forms of interlocking pavement. 

Use this PDF to understanding how economic systems can impact infrastructural needs through the lens of medieval pavement. 

Interlocking pavements are a very old technology. In this PDF explore how ancient Pavers were used by the Romans to conquer the world. The techniques that were used in antiquity have lasted the test of time. 

This PDF is an overview of the basic ideas of interlocking pavements. This document is intended to ground the rest of the lessons on the history of interlocking pavement.

Learn more about the environmental benefits of permeable interlocking concrete pavements.

The first reason that concrete pavers – and any paver that interlocks – has to do with the material that they are constructed from. Concrete pavers are rated multiple times stronger than poured concrete. This is due in part to the way the pavers are formed, but it’s also due to the ‘interlocking nature’ of the material.

In this interactive animation, the student will explore a cityscape finding place types that landscape architects commonly work with in urban areas, including space, edge, path, threshold, and focus. Each place is attributed to a quote from Catherine Dee's Form and Fabric in Landscape Architecture, A Visual Introduction, along with example photography. (Animation currently being updated for 2018 - check back later!)

Pattern Exploration by Jerry Clapsaddle. Including Abstract to grid, Develop rules for pattern generation; Explore patterns from rules; Include/overlay colors; Explore scales, media, images, movement, emotions; Translate to sites with segmental pavement.

In design, techniques of reduction such as abstraction often use a visual language of form, line and color to distill complex ideas and data into focused, symbolic design concepts.  The goal of this exercise is to encourage innovative design informed and inspired by available, reusable, scalable and familiar constraints.

One of John Knapton’s interests is paving systems and this page explains how recent developments in paving are in effect an evolution of Roman road construction. View the web entry here.

After reviewing the Past Presentation Material, take this quiz to test your knowledge.

This presentation will focus on current trends in the world of interlocking concrete pavements (ICPs).  Topics of discussion include: What are concrete pavers, What are interlocking concrete pavers (ICPs), Types of ICPs, Permeable vs. Non-Permeable, Benefits of using ICPs, Aesthetic Benefits, Cost, Project Example. View the pdf using the interactive viewer below or download the file for your own use. Once your learning/review is complete, take the quiz to test your knowledge.

It is the goal of this guide to improve the design of the paved plane of the built environment by expanding the level of knowledge about concrete pavers. This will be accomplished through the organizing of information and support material for both the instructor and the students.
