Landscape Architecture

Landscape-Image-1 Landscape is the medium for designing and planning at the intersection of urbanism, environment, and contemporary culture. Landscape Architects explore different positions that ask and answer questions about human –environment interaction in a time of significant global challenges. They use their knowledge of design theory, history, the arts, and sciences to develop defensible positions and express them through landscape forms, materials, words, ideas and propositions.

Landscape Architects operate in multi-disciplinary teams to design public spaces, urban plazas, residential development, national parks, freeways, and large scale landscape planning work such as planning regional open space systems. Specialisations in heritage management, cultural and conservation fields are typical of the increasingly diverse fields that Landscape Architects work in.
