I just stumbled upon this video created for the Landscape Institute and I feel that it beautifully reflects a wide array of the tasks performed by Landscape Architects.
When I often tell friends, colleagues in other fields, or strangers that I'm a Landscape Architect, there always seems to be some major misunderstanding of my profession, its intent, and the broad spectrum of tasks which we perform. There are many niches to the field, and some Landscape Architects do indeed design small scale residences. However, a majority of us are attempting to achieving something greater.
Have a look at the video to get a sense of the breadth of skills a Landscape Architect can bring to design table and how we are making the world around us better in countless ways.
