As someone with a Masters in Landscape Architecture, Environmental and Urban Design. I can tell you there is a misunderstanding as to what it is that a landscape architect does. It is more than designing a garden a landscape architect’s scope is ALL public realm. All that lies between the facade of one building to another, in different scales from a small garden local micro scale to regional scales. It’s more than just landscaping. That our material is both organic and non organic is beside the point. Landscape architects are NOT landscapers or gardeners. It requires context and site analysis and a mix of knowledge of different disciplines ei. Botany, agriculture, ecology, environmental, topography, sociology, health, policies, laws, zoning, etc. So please get informed before talking about a discipline as student of architecture requires more study hours than any other major.
