Landscape architecture is one of the world's most important professions.
Neglecting the architectures of the world's fast-changing landscapes will result in endless highways lined with endless blocks of endless tedium - dreary expanses of housing, industry, forestry and agriculture - our natural landscapes buried under repetitive building and planting. Instead, we should design the architecture of 'new landscapes for our new lives' (Fairbrother, N. 1970). The engineering of anti-landscapes should make way for an enlightened landscape architecture. With the death of engineer's modernism, it is time for a twenty-first century approach. See:- 20 Essays on Landscape Architecture & Urban Design + 750 illustrations.
Landscape architecture is the professional skill of composing man-made structures, including buildings and paving, with the natural landscape and with designs for landform, water and planting. See also: Definitions of landscape, landscape design, landscape architecture, landscape planning and EID.
Landscape architecture and garden design are separate arts with a shared and ancient heritage. The distinction is that gardens are usually enclosed and private. Landscape architecture is concerned with public goods and public spaces. Societies require landscape architectural policies for each land use category - to conserve what has value and and to create new public goods. See the policies for: urbanisation, greenways, cycling, forestry, mineral extraction, transport, water storage, river reclamation, new towns and green towns.
The name "landscape architecture" was invented by a Scotsman in 1828. It uses the ancient skill of garden designers (to compose landform with water, vegetation, structures and paving) and applies this skill to the man-made landscape. As Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe wrote in The landscape of man (1975): 'It is only in the present century that the collective landscape has emerged as a social necessity. We are promoting a landscape art on a scale never conceived of in history'. Landscape architecture is set fair to become the mother of the arts.
Landscape architects share with garden designers a concern for the planning and design of outdoor space. Like vets and doctors they have similar knowledge and similar skills. The key difference is that landscape architects normally work for public clients (business and governmental) while garden designers tend to work for homeowners. The range of work undertaken by landscape architects extends from detailed design to the broad scale landscape planning. It includes:
Though they require similar skills, the garden design and landscape architecture professions offer different career and jobs. Landscape architecture jobs often involve working with other professionals (engineers, planners, environmental consultants etc) and have typical career paths from assistant to associate to partner or director. Garden designers are more likely to be self-employed and to work with builders and craftsmen. The illustrations to the right are of landscape architecture.

The Landscape Architecture Profession - design and planning
Doris Dumrauf of Robinson believes what we do in our backyards can make a difference when it comes to helping preserve wildlife, and she has the pictures to prove it.
Ms. Dumrauf, who has received national awards from publications like Birds & Blooms magazine for her wildlife photography, doesnt have far to go when she wants to capture memorable photographs of birds, insects or flowers.
She can just stroll into her backyard, which was certified by the National Wildlife Federation as a wildlife habitat.
What we do in our yards does make a difference. We see that in our yard with more and more species attracted each year, Ms. Dumrauf said. With the help of her husband, Donald, she has made their backyard a welcoming destination for birds and pollinating insects like butterflies and bees.
It took about 10 years. We did it a little bit at a time, she said.
When she decided to pursue certification she found The Wildlife Federation requiresthat people interested in establishing a backyard habitat provide food, water and shelterplaces for birds and butterflies to raise their young.
To achieve her goal, Ms. Dumrauf and her husband planted a variety of native flowering plants that would bloom at various times through the spring and fall.
For water, she started out with a bird bath, but eventually installed a small pond, and for shelter the yard features a variety of trees and large bushes.
The federation is very interested in if you use pesticides, and want to know what you use instead to keep the garden organic, she said.
For alternatives to pesticides she uses mulch to suppress weed growth, weeds by hand, and relies on the many species of birds who visit her garden to help keep the insect population in check.
As the regular season continues to head down its final stretch, the landscape of college football remains in relative disarray. With Ole Miss loss to LSU, only three unbeaten teams are left, and numerous conference races are still completely up for grabs.
No. 10 TCU at No. 20 West Virginia
The Mountaineers and Horned Frogs will square off in a game featuring two top contenders in the race for the Big 12 title. Just like everybody predicted at the beginning of the year, right?
West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen has gone from being on the hot seat at the start of the season to being the frontrunner to be named Big 12 Coach of the Year. The Mountaineers, led by quarterback Clint Trickett, boast a lethal aerial attack, ranking ninth in the FBS with an average of 346.3 passing yards per game.
Meanwhile, TCUs offense is flourishing under new co-offensive coordinators Sonny Cumbie and Doug Meacham. The Horned Frogs rank sixth in the country with 360.1 passing yards per game and first in scoring at 50.4 points per game, including setting a school-record with 82 points last week against Texas Tech.
Both teams are absolutely rolling into their meeting in Morgantown, which means we should be in for a thrilling offensive shootout as they battle to stay near the top of the conference standings.
No. 4 Auburn at No. 7 Ole Miss
The SEC West remains heads and shoulders above everyone else in college football, and Ole Miss and Auburn will meet Saturday night in yet another game with major implications in the race for the division title.
The Rebels return home after an agonizing loss on the road to the LSU Tigers, in which they won the turnover battle 4-1. Head coach Hugh Freeze also made the controversial decision to try one more pass play with nine seconds remaining in the game, rather than try to kick a potential game-tying, 47-yard field goal then and there.
The result: a Bo Wallace interception sealed the Rebels fate and gave LSU renewed hope of contending for the SEC West title.

Michigan is clearing land in Detroit ahead of the construction of a commuter bridge to Canada.
Gov. Rick Snyder said Wednesday that three blighted and abandoned publicly owned structures on South Post Street, South Crawford Street and Reid Street in Southwest Detroit are being cleared this week.
Other demolition will occur over the next several months to allow for construction of the New International Trade Crossing over the Detroit River between the city and Windsor, Ontario.
Snyder and Canada's minister of transport appointed representatives to the International Authority in July to oversee bridge construction.
Canada is paying most of the $2 billion project's cost and plans to recoup the money through tolls. Officials have said they hope to open the bridge in 2020.

Michigan starts clearing land for Detroit-Windsor bridge
You never know what you will find at a Goodwill store.
And South Florida interior designers are proving that some of those finds are true treasurers for which you might pay good money to have in your home.
Top designers throughout the area are participating in the Storage Wars Designer Challenge, which involves five local interior designers who will be faced with a test of transforming empty storage units into beautiful, furnished rooms.
Each designer will decorate one storage unit each with items found only in Goodwill stores in Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, Okeechobee and Indian River counties.
The designers will retouch the items for each unit and the units will be available for viewing at STORE Self Storage & Wine Storage in Palm Beach Gardens on Nov 6. People can bid on the units during an event at the storage facility sponsored by Gulfstream Goodwill Industries. Viewing of the units will begin around 5:30 p.m. and tickets for the event are $25 in advance and $30 at the door. The cost includes two drink tickets, as well as tastings from the various restaurants that are catering the event.
There will also be Goodwill treasures, where tables will be filled with upscale Goodwill items for sale, such as jewelry and designer collectibles.
Each of the storage units will have a theme and the highest bidder on each unit will get to keep every single item inside. Goodwill trucks will deliver the items to their homes the night of the event.
What you see is what you get, said Loren Varvarigos, event planning manager for Gulfstream Goodwill Industries. Its unique and affordable.
Last year more than 300 people attended and $14,000 was raised. It was the first year for the Storage Wars Designer Challenge and each unit sold anywhere from $600 to $1,200. That price is a great deal, said Interior Designer and Artist Sean Rush.
With the design fees, they will easily be getting a $15,000 room for a few thousand dollars, Rush said of his unit.
