Landscape Architecture, as a profession of design, planning, and management of the land, enhances the quality of our lives as it gives shape to our experiences. Landscape architects design urban plazas and parks, housing projects and office parks, or they may even develop land use policy for a whole region. What all landscape architects have in common is a deep appreciation for the environment, commitment to the highest standards of planning and design, and the reward of work that directly enhances the quality of people's lives.
