Landscape Architecture is quite simply the
design of outdoor spaces in order to
maximise their potential for both people and
the wider environment. Landscape Architects
plays a significant role in shaping many of
the public spaces that people use. These may
include local parks, school grounds, housing
estates and city centre squares. Landscape
Architects are employed by Local Authorities,
by Private Landscape Companies, and other
related governmental organisations.
T h e L a n d s c a p e P r o f e s s i o n
The landscape profession is one of the most
exciting areas to be involved in today.
Landscape Professionals have a central role
to play in the design, management and care
of our environment both rural and urban.
Landscape architects seek creative solutions
to environmental problems and try to
maintain landscape in a sustainable way to
balance the needs of people and nature. They
work at many scales – from the small
intimate scale of a garden or neighbourhood
park through to the large scale of regional
and landscape planning. It is the potential
diversity of work and its multidisciplinary
nature which makes the profession so
interesting and stimulating.
