Landscape
architecture is one of the most diversified of the design professions. Landscape architects design the built environment of neighborhoods, towns
and cities while also protecting and managing the natural environment,
from its forests and fields to rivers and coasts. Members of the
profession have a special commitment to improving the quality of
life through the best design of places for people and other living
things.
In fact,
the work of landscape architects surrounds us. Members of the profession
are involved in the planning of such sites as office plazas, public
squares and thoroughfares. The attractiveness of parks, highways,
housing developments, urban plazas, zoos and campuses reflects the
skill of landscape architects in planning and designing the construction
of useful and pleasing projects.
