What is landscape architecture?
Landscape architecture involves the planning, design, management, and nurturing of the built and natural environments. Landscape architects design and plan outdoor spaces to achieve aesthetic, environmental, and functional goals. They work on a variety of projects, ranging from public parks, gardens, and recreation areas to residential properties and commercial developments. Landscape architects take into consideration factors such as natural features, topography, climate, and human needs and preferences when designing outdoor spaces.
In addition to designing outdoor spaces, landscape architects also collaborate with other professionals, such as architects and engineers, to ensure that their designs are safe, practical, and effective. They may also work with contractors and builders to oversee the implementation of their designs and ensure that they are executed correctly.
Projects evolve over time… just like people!
Every person’s design process is different, but in all cases, it holds true that there is an evolution of work. Throughout the phases of design, there will be revisions, changes, sketches, construction logistics and more. All of these stages occur so that the client’s space is the safe, beautiful, comfortable, and exactly what they want.
