''What is Landscape Architecture?''
"Landscape architecture is an extraordinary blend of science and art, proposition and thought." Jason Prior
“There’s a great opportunity as a landscape architect to address what’s on the political agenda – childhood obesity, healthy living. Designing playful landscapes means we’re providing somewhere that it’s fun for children to play,” Adam White
Landscape architecture is designing and planning the environment, both physically and psychologically, for the betterment of humanity" Varsha Halabe
“I love drawing and I love sketching and I think it’s really important to put your ideas down on paper. The most fantastic thing about landscape architecture is that it’s so varied and there’s so many different avenues you can go down. It’s a job you can do anywhere in the world.” Laurel Truscott
''Landscape architecture combines environment and design, art and science. It is about everything outside the front door, both urban and rural, at the interface between people and natural systems. The range of ways in which landscape architects work is staggering. From masterplanning Olympic sites to planning and managing landscapes like national parks and areas of outstanding natural beauty to designing the public squares and parks that we all use, landscape architecture nurtures communities and makes their environment human and liveable.
Landscape architects are broad thinkers who thrive on the big picture. They are playing an increasingly important role in addressing the great issues of our day: climate change, sustainable communities, water, housing and the prevention of hunger. Landscape architects are often natural leaders, able to communicate with many professions and leading multidisciplinary projects. Landscape architecture is not just the profession of the future – but the profession for a better future.'' Landscape Institute
