Overview

Landscape architects use design and ecology to plan our external environments. Therefore, they form an essential part in our experience of living, in city squares, neighborhoods, urban forests, parks, streets, and all green infrastructure. Landscape architecture is also a profession that combines both art and science in one integrated design process. It is the profession that designs, plans and manages the shape and function of our land. Landscape architects deal with places such as parks, residential developments, all arts of campuses, gardens, commercial centers, resorts, corporate and institutional centers and waterfront developments… etc. Besides, the appreciation for historic landscapes and cultural resources enables landscape architects to undertake an essential role in preservation planning projects for local, regional and national historic sites and areas.
