Architecture
Landscape
Architecture is comprehensive by definition-no less than the
art and science of analysis, planning, design, management,
preservation and rehabilitation of the land.
In providing well-managed design and development plans, landscape architects
offer an essential array of services and expertise that reduces costs and adds
long-term value to a project.
|
| Landscape Architects touch on all of the design professions, integrating elements
from each of them. While having a working knowledge of architecture, civil
engineering and urban planning, landscape architects take elements from each
of these fields to design aesthetic and practical relationships with the land.

Landscape Architects provide a wide variety of professional
services to individuals, organizations, corporations,
or government agencies. Landscape architects are involved
in all phases of the development of a site, from the
initial discussion of ideas through the construction
of the project. Their duties require a variety of skills--site
planning and design, site engineering, managerial and
supervisory. They work with architects, planners, and
engineers involving all aspects of our environment. |
Landscape Architects design and develop interpretive
parks, arboretums, zoos, golf courses, playgrounds, recreation
areas, and farmsteads. They also design multi-functional
areas for urban renewal projects, college campuses, industrial
parks, and new towns. Besides designing sites, landscape
architects select building sites, prepare cost data,
initiate long-range planning, select utility corridors,
and prepare environmental impact statements. Landscape
