ARCHITECT
combines design with
the environment, art
with science. It is
about everything
outside the front
door, both urban and
rural, at the interface
between people and
BEING A LANDSCAPE
ARCHITECT
study, plan, design and
manage spaces which
are both sustainable
and aesthetically
pleasing. Landscape
architects work with
architects, town
planners, civil
engineers and a host of
other professionals.
They are leading the
way in tackling climate
change and also
helping to regenerate
towns and cities across
the world.
BECOME A LANDSCAPE
ARCHITECT
Two different ways to
become a landscape
architect. If you have
never been to university
before you should
complete a Landscape
Institute accredited
undergraduate degree. If
you already have a degree
you may well be eligible
to enter onto one of our
graduate conversion
courses.
JOB DESCRIPTION
LANDSCAPE
ARCHITECT
provide innovative
and aesthetically
pleasing
environments for
people to enjoy,
whilst ensuring that
changes to the
natural
environment are
appropriate,
sensitive and
sustainable.
“THE URBAN GREEN PLANNER”
4. DESIGNING IDEAS INTO ACTION
evaluate the success of the project and,
depending on the client, continue to oversee
management of the site post-construction. Many
cities and counties have their own landscape
architects on staff to manage all the parks and
public land.
DESIGNING WITH OTHERS
imagining an outfit while a clothing manufacturer
makes the apparel, or an artist designing a wall
poster that's printed by another company.
Landscape architects and contractors are
complementary but highly distinct professions.
“WORK WITH OTHERS”
ARCHITECT
primarily design
buildings and
structures with
specific uses, such as
homes, offices and
schools.
CIVIL ENGINEERS
apply scientific
principles to the design
and construction of
public infrastructure
such as roads, bridges
and utilities.
URBAN PLANNERS
develop a broad,
comprehensive
overview of
development for
entire cities and
regions.
5. Restoring endangered wetlands, reducing hospital stays,
securing government and other buildings, removing
toxins from rainwater — these aren't pie in the sky. It's
what landscape architects are designing right now.
“PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN”
Healing gardens
create landscapes that reduce stress,
boost the immune system, improve
Alzheimer's symptoms, encourage
physical activity, and reduce time
spent in hospitals.
Bioremediation
use natural systems of plants, fungi, or
soil microbes to transform formerly
polluted industrial sites into a safe and
valuable public green space.
